Disc possibilities on oem forks

Post by TikiMan »

Hey gents
Has anyone ever adapted a disc onto the stock fork assembly. Is it possible to attach a bracket to the pivoting arm?
I like the stock fork look, it fits perfectly with my current build, the stopping power is just not enough.

No it will bind up or hit the caliper if it's a elite s style front fork. If it's telescopic fork then you can probably get it to work. Just upgrade the brake shoes to ebc or any aftermarket racing brake shoes or just do a full disc swap front end. Enless the person welding the bracket is a very skilled welder, I wouldn't trust welding a caliper bracket on a fork that wasn't mentioned to have one. If it fails you risk getting really hurt or even death. If your going to do it, do it the right way.
Nothing like getting stroked!
