Marty you always say the nicest things
Preacher - you can bolt up a complete 17" front end to your Geep9, just need to find one. As far as a brake *conversion* is concerned - are you currently out-braking the OEM brakes ? These brakes can be upgraded quite easily with just the addition of EBC HH-rated pads, braided steel brake lines - and if you really want to get 2-finger braking - use a 19mm radial m/c from any late-model 600/750/1000 yammie or suzuki. The calipers & discs don't really need to be upgraded, and in any case, if you do upgrade the calipers this is rarely if ever a *bolt-on* proposition
