#1 PostAuthor: MCZ900 » Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:11 pm

Hi all can anyone help with my rear brake options , iv fitted a bandit rear end to my proj and you have to do away with the rear sub frame bit that the brake lever hangs off, not done any chopping yet untill i find a brake solution. is there anything out there? or can anyone point me in the right direction.

Cheers Ian.

Ian,

When I fitted a similar arm (GSXR600 SRAD) to my Z1000, I had to lose the brake pivot, I then fitted some rearset's mounted on the original footrest mounts, with the aid of an adaptor plate. fairly simple to do + you can make just about any rearset's fit.
