Whatever solution you use, if you do find somebody that says they can do the work, please let us know. I would rather use the smaller bore master cylinder (intended for single disk) than use the stock larger bore M/C that's used on the stock dual disk setups.
The need for that operation has come up several times here on the forum. I don't remember of a source ever being found to date.
Ken, hopeful in Oklahoma

I've sent some emails to a few of the local precison machine shops around here. If I have any luck, I will certainly pass that information along. I just can't imagine that this is all that difficult for a legit machine shop, but hey. There must be more to it than it seems I guess.
I did something similar to my 1974 R90/6, I think there is a photo on the photos page somewhere.
Just to say that I used a 17mm (piston diameter) twin outlet under-tank master-cylinder with four-pot brembos from an R1100s and the set-up worked great from the start. Also have K1100 forks, (similar to K100rs) and raised them through the yokes.
Thanks, Sam. Once I found your bike, I remembered that yours was the one that put me on this path to begin with! So thanks (I think)! No real news yet. I sent the stock wheel and the R100RS hub off to Woody's yesterday, so hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a new wheel, and will be able to start looking at what all needs working on at that point. Last few weeks have kept me busy with work and getting my Guzzi back together for an upcoming weekend trip to Palm Springs. Not much of a ride, but as busy as it's been at work I'll take anything I can get.
