This turned out well, so I thought i ought to let the world know.  Thanks Speedog for the suggestion.  There was a theoretical trade off here - better steering for reduced braking.  This is a streetbike and I'm not real fast, but I am light - 135 lbs.  The stock 695 brakes with EBC sintered pads were totally adequate for my needs, nearly always braking with one finger. (The suspension on this bike is upgraded with Showa adjustable forks and a 749 shock.)  I'm still braking with one finger, just pulling a little bit harder.  Good feel, just a bit less initial bite.  What surprised me was how much better the bike steers with a single 320mm rotor with aluminum carrier, compared to the two all steel ones.  Quicker steering with a lighter feel



The snowflake rotor is from an Aprilia RSV, the caliper from a Polaris/Victory.  Parts on Ebay are cheaper if they aren't listed for Ducati, and these are found on several makes - rotor $40, caliper $60.



The look on the right side is a little weird, but this is where the lightness happens.



The master cyl and line from an M620 Dark, $90.  It's the same size as the M695 Clutch master.

Looks good.  Cool I’ll bet you can source an inexpensive fork bottom sans bracket to really clean it up.

I got the hub cover for the right side, but it's a plastic part and didn't improve the look.  The right side bottom piece without the caliper mount would be good - any idea which models had this piece, and how to change it out?  The bottom piece does seem to include the compression damping adjuster, though...

Thanks

I don't believe there is a lower without the caliper mount available for an adjustable front fork. I could be wrong.

All the Ducati models that used the Showa adjustable forks had dual discs.
