Do i have any worry running superbike goldlines with a single brake set up on an older 98 m750? i am currently running these with a dual front rotor set up.

Its abit much for the single setup, but will work
It'll either make the brake more responsive or less. I've been told both, maybe someone with first hand knowledge can give an absolute answer.
I'm told you will have less "feel" because a larger piston makes less pressure for a given amount of travel than a smaller one. It definitely will "work".
This article might help. It discusses radial masters, but the principle is the same.

Just curious, why are you switching from dual rotors back to a single?

Pretty sure a 98 M750 came with a single disc.
The 98 M750 did have 1 disc. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but didn't he say, " i am currently running these(goldlines) with a dual front rotor set up. " - and now he wants to use this master on a single disc.

Different bike maybe? Anyway....I quit. [laugh]

Doh! missed that part.
good questions indeed... i have dual right now but i've thought of going back to a single iron disk with better pads to lighten the front end up. looks cooler too, and i miss the steering response of the lighter weight single front disk. just thought i'd ask around first, i'm a ways off from that project though.
I had a single disc on my 99 M750, and IMHO it really sucked. The bike never felt "balanced" when I got on the binders. Now, I have dual discs and all is well! I couldn't/wouldn't switch back for anything. Give it some thought. [thumbsup]

My buddy Doug raced with a 750 and single disc. I've ridden his 748 engined bike with a single disc. It works great. It does have a single disc master and an iron rotor.

I can't complain about my single disc too, although I did upgrade the pads and put a nice new braketech rotor on it ;D plus, visually, it's kind of nice to only have one rotor on one side so you can actually see the spokes on the wheel (makes cleaning a lot easier too)
I also like the look of the single disc, and have run both. My single front is way more than needs to stop my little monster, even with a fatty like me on it. I'm curious as to what the goldline caliper would do to feel though. I'd like a firmer brake handle with less lever travel.

You can get that by adjusting the bleed properly. If you're not familiar with it have a tech do it.
