XS400 - Disk Front - XS/KZ Swap

[treitz]

It's me again.

So the bike I'm working on, as mentioned before is a 1979 XS400. I'm considering a front end swap for a single disk 17" spoke wheel to match the spokes that are already on it.

It looks like the forks on the XS400 and the KZ400 are both 33mm. In my mind, all that this swap would require are the forks and front wheel from a 1979 KZ400 single disk and a front brake lever with a master cylinder.

Am I missing anything on this that would make it more complicated?

Width between forks,might need different wheel spacers

Oh yeah good point. I'll look into that.

I can always have spacers machined if it's wider.
