Brake braket question
02 Nov 2006 08:44
Here is a pic of the brake brakets that I have and they are not what I need. The location of the caliper on the rotor is were it should be located. So I'm still searching for the corect braket. Does anyone have one? The swingarm is off a zx 1995-I believe. I do have two brake brakets up for sale or trade:lol: Also a essentric for the shock and two dog bones. The dog bones are too long I'm going to need shorter ones.

Tryed that and it does not work due to the caliper braket. With the caliper under the swingarm, the caliper does not wrap around the rotor properly. I'll take another pics to let you guys see what I'm talking about.

On second thought about the dog bones I'll just do what Lorcan did to his dog bones. He has adjustable ones on.

Another position. I was trying to mount it to the bottom of the arm but found out that it would not work due to the angle of piston and braket assembly.

The only way for it the fit with the braket to mount it under the swingarm would be to mount the piston side of the caliper on the inside instead of the "normal" outside.

From looking at your photos.
It HAS to go on the top of the swingarm or you CAN'T bleed the brake.
