Wellll, as I should have expected, the 18" wheel is about 1/2' to 3/4' narrower at the hub. Couple of ideas, please feel free to comment.

1. Ditch the front end entirely and fit another model with twin discs to the front end that have an 18" wheel. (more $$)

2. Find a tire with a shorter profile/side wall height and stay with the 19" wheel. (need a new tire, anyway)

3. Mill a shim for each side of the 18" hub to bring the discs out to the original distance for the calipers. The only issue here is the speedo gear and how to fix it in position. I believe it rides against the fork to prevent rotation with the wheel... and a potential safety issue. (more $$)
