Definately go with a 18", really lightens the steering, and better leverage with the disc. Try to keep the stock rake trail, or just a tad shorter. Should be a great ride!
Thanks John!

..slightly off topic but do you have a picture of the fit? I have a 400 race roller with a seized engine and a built 500 looking for a new home. Thinking about the swap
I don't have any pictures at the moment except the above... probably not much help, but its a simple swap with minimal fab work. I used a solid mounted H1 engine. From what I remember the front mount was basically a bolt on to get you started and the remaining mounts were simple fabrications. I did end up grinding a dime sized bit of clearance out of the right side swing arm gusset for added clearance for the engine case bolt/boss.
I just looked at Walms conversion thread and it looks excellent !! , Here's a link to his build on the Canadian web site.
