Default Wired Hubs?

Im thinking that for the rear I can get away with a 450 or 250 CRF hub with warp9 rims and laces. However I am stumped as for what to do with the front. I want to do a Motard/Tracker/Cafe 80's style streetfighter to my bike. I am definately going to do inverted forks up front but I am scared to ditch the dual disc for a dirtbike single disc rotor setup. Who all makes a hub setup thats wired with dual disc that will work on the 2000 F4?

Evidently.

Frankly, w/ most of your braking being up front, I don't know why you'd want to reduce your stopping power. There's a reason there's a dual-disc setup on an F4/F4i.

I'm all for modding but not when it most likely would result in a decrease in safety.

Ya I think getting rid of the dual disc setup is a bad idea, you know its sort of like lets take all the left brake rotors off a car and see how it does.

Let me quote myself so you guys can reread what all was said in my first post...

Well Phil,

Please forgive my lack of not following thru on my thought w/ more specific information & a response that would've perhaps been more useful for you...

I'm not aware of anyone that makes a specific application like that for the F4 model. Could something be modded & adapted?...maybe, maybe not. Would those mods be just as safe & reliable as the factory Honda set-up for the F4?...maybe, maybe not. <--- This is where I was going w/ my post & recommendation but didn't complete the thought. Sorry I didn't elaborate further & wasn't clearer on that.

Perhaps you'd be better served in the *stunters corner* section of the forum. Also, you could search out other stunter & street-fighter boards & ask them what experiences they've had w/ similar. Perhaps you could get the recommendations you need from them.

I hope you find what you're looking for...& hope it works for what you want. From this & your other posts, it looks like you have some majorly ambitious modifications in store. I'd like to see what you come up w/ & welcome a how-to(s) on what you decide to do.

Best of luck to you sir.

Hmmm well it seems that the mods that i am looking to do are one of a kind to this forum. Might havw to jump to a flattracker/motard forum for more information. I know these hubs exist and probably will have to get a custom axle milled but was hoping i could find a honda specific setup. There arent any 80's sport honda's with laced and dual rotor setups off the top of anyone's head?

Awesome find man but I did some soul searching on google and came up with RAD Manu HEX hubs. Interchangeable sprocket and rotor mounts for the rear hubs. So I will be running rear hubs by them for both the front and rear. Need to know what size axle diameter the 2000 600 F4 has. I found through google that the 954 front end has a 20mm axle diameter up front. Need this info for order the correct bearings for these hubs.

Well I contacted RAD Manufacturing. Will be doing a Cush rear hub and was told by him to locate a KTM 950/990 front hub to suport both the weight of the big bike and the laced front end...
