Ron,
Front wheel w/disc, wheel caliper, fender, forks (including the shrouds for
mounting the headlight- the disc brake ones are longer) from a '74 disc
brake model Eldo. Handlebar hydraulic cylinder & hose ( can be adapted from
most any disc brake bike). If the second disc is desired, a disc and left
caliper from a T3 or other dual disc Tonti, a spacer to line the disc up
properly, & a "T" in the brake line to feed the 2nd disc. I put the 2nd disc
on my '74 Eldo & used the stock single disc handlebar cylinder. It works OK
but should be replaced w/ a larger diameter one for better "feel".
The alternative is going to a whole front end from a different brand of
bike-changing the steering head, triple-trees etc., then you have to be
careful that you don't change the rake & trail too much so everything clears
and you don't introduce any handling weirdness.
