I have been thinking about doing the beemer front disk brake upgrade. The only thing that bothers me is the loss of the parking /(cough, cough) emergency brake. I had an idea to look for a motorcycle front disk brake rotor mounted to the axleshaft with a cable operated brake assembly mounted to the tranny (I think there are three useable bolts on the RH side). Anyone play with this idea before?

Wasted, no...had a setup similar to that on my old 6 conversion...the problem with it has already been stated as I'm sure you'll find out...You can brake way harder than your tires can hold, so be prepared for a learning curve.
I had to get used to not applying full brake in a quick stop or I was flat spotting tires... Those pics are inducing some brake envy I'm sure...too much is not a bad problem to have... |
