Disc Brakes / Stronger Drums

Has anyone here managed to put a disc brake (or "better" drums) on their scoot following an engine upgrade?

If you are talking about the spree than yes. i have not done it personally but you can put an elite S hub and rim on a spree. There is also at least one spree in hawaii that has a disc brake conversion on it. Quik fix in hawaii has one spree that will be having a disc brake conversion soon so i have heard.

The spree at the end has a set of kitaco rims which fit the elite s hub. The original spree legs were used and a bracket was welded on the spree leg to stop the s-hub from spinning. As far as spacers and the bolt size I never did one but i could find out. Those are my old kitaco rims and the spree is owned by a good friend of mine.he has a 2.75 tire in the front I believe.

There's probably a better pad than stock that will fit into the Spree as well. The pads between Spree and the different Elite 50s is probably interchangable... right?

So i have seen the pads on the spree front brake is not the same as the pad on the elite s. Also when i tried to use the drum of an 89 elite on a spree rim it did not work so i am only assuming that the pads are not interchangable for that set too but I could be wrong.

there 2 version aval for the aero,there's a bolt on that still use's a stock frt end but has the bracket welded for the caliper ,and then there's what we considered to be a "live" frt end ,that is cut and weld to fit
the first 1 can use a stock headset but the you gotta mess with the bars for the master cyl,the second needs an headset from a dio sr -af27 and on

pics of some of theese bolt ons?... semi bolt ons...

cant find the ones' of the semi bolt on
here's the cut and welded ones

the headset could be just about anystyle that use the bolt thru the back style af18 to af35 -dio sp to live dio zx
the aero and elite s use the nut over bar style

85stroka · Post by **85stroka** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 4:07 pm
