Better stopping power, less moving parts comes to mind
Disc brakes are more efficient giving more contact surface compared to shoes
Look at the wear pattern on brake shoes, now compare the pad wear with discs, you will see equal clamping force applied = better braking, less wear

Your point about the disc brakes is well taken. I was just thinking that servicars normally had about a 45-50 mph top end and wondered about the practicality of the brake swap in that case.
I am currently building a servi "facsimile" using a DNA trike kit and a late model replica servi box. Definitely using the disc setup that comes with the trike kit. I say "facsimile because I am using an EVO big twin.
