Commando fork disc etc

Someone told me that Commando forks are all the same but for the disc mounting. i.e its possible to use a disc tube/stanchion on one side and a drum tube/stanchion on the other?
I know now that I do not have an arm/hand good enough for grabbing a mediocre drum but can do a 2/3 fingers for a good disc so I am thinking of changing my Enfield stock fork/wheel (even with the 2LS)for a Commando disc (drilled if possible)with the stock 2 pistonsa caliper, SS line and Magura mastercylinder... If I could only change only the caliper side and the wheel it would be great... I have a few calipers, a disc...anyobe one good wheel and fork?

PS: any address where to send a disc to be done the way British Only was doing it (Blanchard/drilled)

Old Britts (www.oldbritts.com) - among others, no doubt - does Blanchard grinding and drilling. I had them do mine, along with resleeving the master cylinder. Added Ferodo Platinum pads, stainless-steel brake lines, and somebody's - RGM? - brake lever and the front brake is quite competent.

I read on the forum somewhere that OldBritts was not doing disks very frequently. They send them out, so they needed enough of them to do as a batch.

Correct, they wait until they get 3 pieces. I had them
do mine, nice job. Call them and ask what the wait is.

Don't bother, they stopped doing them.

At this time we are not offering the service to blanchard grind or lighten customers rotors. If in the future we resume this service, we will advertize it on our home page. We still sell new lightened rotors.

DBR is the way to go in the States.

Phillipe, the Commando disc set-up uses different lower sliders on both sides than the drum set up, as you pointed out the caliper mount on one slider is self evident, but the pinch bolt side has more material on the disc set-up, it can be identified by the flat profile on the outer and inner edge, plus the fact that the diameter is a bit larger. Internal dimensions between disc and drum sliders are the same and they use the same bushes, seals and tubes/stanchions, so you could actually run a drum brake pinch bolt slider on one side with a disc on the other. My experience with a sleeved master cylinder is that the force required to effectively slow the bike is much less than on a standard caliper, furthermore the lever travels further and physically it's easier to put more force on as your grip becomes tighter and smaller.

Given your difficulties with grip in your right hand, have you thought about a linked system that operates both brakes from the foot pedal? Moto Guzzi had such a system which allows a certain amount of retardation effect to the front while braking with the foot, but still allows independent front brake useage.

I've most the kit to convert drum to disc but my buddy Wes refuses to upgrade his stylish dangerous hard to work drum set up, so excess junk to me now. RGM race lever plus SS hose plus sleeved down master cylinder really help make front tire squeable-lockable in standard women level grip strength going below highway speed and ABS like barely squeable at hwy speed and above.

Old Britts told Me they no longer drill discs so I dealt with DBR @(618)344-7683 ask for Gary did a wonderful job for Me just last month. Really dresses up the front end besides the functionality.
