86 XL600 Drum to Disc Brake Conversion
I am looking for somone that might know what the cheapest and easiest way of converting the drum brakes on this old beast to disk brakes. I am an amputee rider and canot use the rear brake pedel. This bike has a bit of sentimental value so it was my intention to convert the drum brakes if possible to disk brakes and run them (intergrate) both off the front brake level. This 86 Model XL600 RMG has 17 inch wheel with cush drive. I am thinking that i may be able to find a wheel that will slip straight. I have looked at a few on the newer model bikes to try and get an idea of how i might be able to do it. I have also exausted all my local wreckers tring to get ideas. The closest thing i can find that i think may slot straight in is the new KLR650 cushion drive 17 inch wheel. Has anyone out there done the conversion or have any hints on how i might be able to get it done.
