So i decided that i wanted to get a dual disc for riding in the rain so i cruised around and my bro said that hed pay half so i got a nice one off particleman cuz hes a hero.
Everything is monty except the bars and the headset.

take the rear rotor off right now. all of them have cracked, they are fine for the front but on the rear it stresses them too much......

Get a riser bar... it looks HORRIBLE.... WAY to low front end...

yeah the front end feels a lil weird.
And i know that the rotor is cracked. I want to run and 8 inch in the rear but id need a +20 adaptor or something like that, are they expensive and where can i get them from??
And what rise bars should i use??

There are two things that will be making the front end of that bike feel a little weird. Firstly the fork is shorter than a standard monty fork (20mm shorter). This will make the front end feel very low (a mate of mine has a similar setup).

Secondly the bars like everyone else mentioned. I recomend the monty risers that the bike would have originally come with. They're light and very comfy.

However with having only ridden my mate's bike with short forks and monty bars (and not your bike) I'd guess the forks are a bigger problem.

you dont need a 8" rear disc on those bikes. if its not working for you, maybe your brakes are fucked

yeah i mean the lever is a little leaky but thats just the seal there.
I dunno i expected the hopes to have a little more power.
The front one has good bite but it dont hold as well as i thought.
The rear is a bit mushy (but thats the level leaking) and i have to land right on top of the obstacle or it slips.
I need a new rear rotor anyways, are there different pads for the hopes that are stronger??
Any info helps guys im new to hydraulics!!
