SteveSr got me thinking (there I go working without tools again):
Some ATV's have mechanical disc brakes (Yamaha Blaster I think for example), and also the rears on larger ATVs (my 400EX Honda) has a hydraulic/mechanical setup that is much beefier. As a matter of fact, the mechanical portion of it is just an actuating arm and long cable that runs up to the clutch lever. It works independantly of the hydraulic system, and is a simple design. Most guys even remove it completely because they never use it. The caliper itself doens't look much different from the Brembo one, and can be had from any ATV salvage joint cheaply, as well as the rotor. It would seem only a spacer would have to be fabbed up somehow. BUT, I'm a doofus, and that was just a doofus idea, and maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about and say "Hey, I know what he's talking about.."
