    US people:

    This kit will convert a 550 Seca for sure, and maybe a Maxim, to the Euro-spec dual-discs.

    What you get:

    Two Euro-spec fork legs (not the same as US Maxim or Seca)
    Pair of matching calipers
    Pair of matching discs
    Pair of high quality lower brake lines - steel-braided, teflon-cored
    Some bolts and bolt locking tabs

    What is needed, but not included:

    Master cylinder and top line
    Brake pads for one of the calipers

    You should be able to use your stock wheel and brake line union, just add a dual banjo bolt.

    $450 shipped (it will be a pretty hefty box).

    You could also pick it up in Minneapolis, and if that's the case, we can talk about the price.

    Yea, but then I'd need to euro oil cooler as well.

    It's a slippery slope, though not an endless one.

    Bolt on changes don't alter the bikes value in my opinion. After riding similar bikes with single and dual disc braking, the difference is notable and I'm planning the same upgrade on my 650 build right now.
