Same reason they have dual disk brakes, and radial tires......Because it is the bike designed to curry the favor of sport bike riders

It would be nice if they all had dual disc brakes. Say don't the Hammer and Kingpin have the same size front wheels and tires? Is it possible???? If they are, it would probably be an expensive conversion???

Lots of people have done it.
Drill, or replace front wheel for second rotor
Get calipers, lines, and big bore master from Hammer, TC, or SC
Lower leg from Hammer. You cant just change the right leg out complete as it has different spring, and cartridge

Correct. The "other" bikes are kind of like Harleys and American Ironhorse cruisers, one disk so you can see the front wheel and no tac because your cruising not racing. The hammer although has the same engine and tranny has the "performance" look kind of like a Suzuki M109 with the dual disks, tach, and cowl over the passanger seat. Vic is trying to please an array of customers.:cool:

Can't answer why but for a mear $199 you can add a tech. I did it on my 09 Jackpot and all the connectors were there and now I see when I am in OD also. You would think they would at least include the OD light on a Jackpot if it has 6 gears.
