I did it, it rides fine, if you ride safe and not like a bat out of hell then you should never have an occassion you cant get it slowed down, or its a time that its just not gonna matter cuz you already smacked it. So if you want to do a single side do it... maybe save up for a 13" kit, calipers are pretty too....

Bikes had single side brakes for eions, some only had rear brakes, and technology is just that much better now..

Yea, and the technology is requiring 2 disc brakes rather than 1, so what does that tell you? Tells me that my 850lbs bike needs 2 discs. YMMV.

If I tell you to jump off a bridge will you do that too? JK JK

You have ppl that scream don't do it and others that say do it. It's up to you. I have a few friends that had it done so I'm gonna take theirs for a spin and make MY OWN decision. Good luck with yours
