i dont think you would have any problems. In fact it will help improve the braking of the bike, if you can regulate the brake force correctly during braking. Though yes, under sudden braking the chances of the front wheel locking are higher.

You can go for the Gladiator front disc setup with forks. They are a direct fit to the bike.

gladiator setup is the best bet prakhar.. with or without alloys .. check out pics of my bike .. gladi complete front end..

my friend used pulsar forks and disk on the rx and it worked very well.

contrary to popular belief, a bikes lightness has very little to do with front wheel slides during braking. its got to do more with location of cg and load transfer. if you face that problem, all you need to do is fit a lower handlebar or better front tyre.

reason...
you need more friction at the front contact patch. for that, you can increase pressure on the front during braking (low handlebars) or increase the coefficient of friction (tyre).

Strongly support the above statement.

When I fitted in the front discs, I imported the entire kit from Malaysia including the front fork, little I knew that Gladiator's or Pulsar's fork will suffice. Anyway, the point here is, it depends on how much braking you apply & how much friction on the physics front. In reality, if you apply both the front & rear effectively, the front disk only helps improve your braking. On dry tarmac surfaces it works beautifully & when you have sand particles, you shouldn't take the risk of hard brakings.

Go for the disc setup & keep learning. Oh!!! remember to have a good front tyres (with good simple treads) & keep checking out for wear & tear.

Which kit form malyasia ?? whats the make ? you can only answer if you are willing to share the info.

Err...kit is a bad term to use. I intended to say front forks, disc brakes set. It was for RX115. The mech said its Malaysian & that was 3 years back. Now I'm aware there're lots of Taiwan or Thailand floating around, so it may be one among them.
