The calipers on your scooter are single piston and use a small diameter rotor ... Upgrading can get costly

I debated the conversion on my 82 but I would need to run roadking lowers, callipers and rotors because the calliper mounts are different. Maybe you could retain your lowers and make adapters. You can get the pins and bushing new from V twin as well as new aftermarket callipers that fit but they’re very expensive and look wrong.
