chANge DIsC brAKe eFfectiVe? i tRieD my FreN's x1 wif Disc BRake behiNd and rAcing FootReSt~ lIke neVa FeEl the BRaking Leh~

what i feel is the braking wont be as effective as compared to those bikes which come w/ standard rear brakedisc

 

but it's definitely better than the kind of braking u get frm the stock drum brakes after fixing racing footrest

but i tink its gonna be quite difficult to mount the caliper above of the swingarm leh

cause the bracket for the dual suspension at the rear kind of blocking...

He's not talking about OEM brakes.

He's stating the facts for aftermarket modified cubs with rear disc brakes using custom made brackets which are not as stable as OEM ones.

This bracket very detailed. Very difficult to measure to exact.

hm..nice bracket and caliper!

but i wonder how come the part to adjust the tension of the chain at the end of the swingarm is not there anymore?

the caliper is not even manufactuered as a flower disc.

Look carefully......

It's a normal round disc drilled and cut to look like a flower disc....

 

Dangerous.....

[skazuz]

bro u can change ur swing arm to the 125z want if u want.. can try if it fits..

[StingRhea]

that not the point~ the suspension has to change too~

 

get thsoe bracket that is supported on the swingarm rather den the axle only.

 

if u notice those bikes with bottom mounted caliper, there is always an extra rod attached to the caliper.

[Gresini]

I actually have intentions to convert too. But to think of drilling swingarm, changing rearsets, rims, searching for calipers dats suitable, measure & bring aluminium to workshop for enginerring, spending all the monies, effort... i hardly use rear brakes too... sibeh siong leh...
