Custom machined hub/rotor adapters. WITH PICS!

BTW: These are the EBC race rotors that go with this stuff...



Not the EXACT ones (those aren't Triumph), but the same series.

For the rear?



Yup, I gotta adapt that too, cause the rear hub is too thin.

im gonna go with the stock size ebc rotors front and rear but they are floating rotors made of better material so i think they will greatly improve stopping.on the rear im going with the ebc rotor with a gsxr caliper mounted underneath with a custum bracket i figure it will be easier to find parts if something goes wrong and im trying to keep everthing looking semi old school to go with the wire wheels.i havent decided on front calipers yet;)

Just curious, Any new progress on this? I love these kind of mods!
Heres my latest project(s)
(gulp!)Honda GL 1000 forks, Boranni 19 wheel, 320mm rotors, V65 calipers.
The second pic is a CB 750 Front hub laced to a Boranni 18 inch and an adaptor to mount for rear wheel application (sprocket adaptor). I will probably use the existing Grimeca caliper that is on my bike now. They are for a (gulp) Honda CB 750 SOHC.

is that any lighter than the stock rear honda hub?

I did something similar using a Honda front mag on the rear of a BSA, but the BSA has the cushdrive in the clutch. This setup leaves you with no cushdrive, have you considered this? That's going to look great.

Has anybody seen anything from caffcruiser re his project, getting anxious to see how it turned out.

The Shelby-Dowd mags on my CB now have no cush dive either (stock has a cush drive). I have put 6 X 3/8 steel pins at the sprocket adaptor/ hub junction (between the mounting bolts) to strengthen this one up. Time will tell if it will work.
It weights about the same as the stock rear wheel, but it allows me to use a better braking system with many more options for discs and calipers.
This type of front wheel to the rear position is popluar with the Yamaha XS 650's. Omars sells an adaptor kit for them.

I like to see these kind of "more than just bolt on" mods, and that's why I was curious to see if it had progressed any.

PS: bolt on mods are good too!!

Hey guys!

Sorry about the lack of updates.

We've been really busy with our son, and I've been on the hunt for a new job (which I found now. YAH!)

Anyhow, the project is slowly coming together now. I'm getting it into KICKDOWN mode here soon, so I'd like to get it finished ASAP.

I've got front engine mounts coming soon, the swingarm (03-05 R6) will be mounted when the bearings and dust caps arrive (should be Sat.), and then I just need to design the rear hub adapters for the brake and sprocket.

I had originally intended for this to be a cafe bike, and then came across a tank/seat I liked, so I decided to streetfighter it.

Well, now I finally got a damn tank I REALLY like for a cafe (81 GPz1100), so I think it will get cafe'd and I'll use the other tank/seat on something else.

Sorry, didn't mean to put you on the spot;)

It's looking good! I'll try to be patient and wait for new pics!!
