Nice looking setup!! What size rotors are you goin with? 6 or 8?

If you go with a 20mm axle up front there isn't an adapter to use a 6 inch rotor with it, so you may want to thing 8 inch rotors.... but that'd be a bit much for the duke...so... umm just ignore me then... and go 6 inch and buy the 8 inch later on.. hahahaha :D
