Rear disc conversion

Ok I have a 77 kz650 and im changing to rear disc brakes.I have most of the components needed,however I dont have a spot to bolt rear master cylinder on!Should I weld a gusset or do they have a bracket available?Oh yeh,I also need push rod from master cylinder to rear brake pedal.Can this be made?THANKS GUYS!!!

I made my own bracket that fits the two upper rear engine mount bolts - just used longer bolts and also used a couple of extra nuts as spacers to align the mc with the brake pedal. Took a couple of trys to get it right but it wasn´t too hard. I used the mc, brakes and rear wheel off a GPz900R as well as swapping in a Zephyr 750 swingarm.

Here are some pics:

Great Idea thank you!

Great Idea thank you!

thats a good job. i may have to try that on my kz900.

I made a metal bracket, after I made and tested a heavy duty cardboard version, to mount a '82 KZ1100 rear brake master cylinder to my '73 Z-900 frame's right rear upper engine mount, all in my effort to replace the stock rear drum brake system with a rear disk brake system.

It took some planning and time but it's doable. See the second link in my signature.
