Wow great start nice fab work! Im sure youll let us know if that caliper doesnt work out im curious to know. I used on on my car tired bicycle and it doesnt stop at all but youve got much smaller tires so maybe itll be ok.

Thanks for the like.the brake rotor and caliper are stock to the bike.had to cut down caliper mount.rotor is mounted on a piece for a Coleman.
had to bore out center to fit the bigger axle.with some shimming and adjusting these systems work good.

They make a hydraulic replacement kit for this style of brake; they run about $50 on eBay with MC, line, and caliper.
Might be the ticket to get a little more power without entirely reworking things.

I use the same calipers front and rear. Works ok with my rotors, which are just over 7".

Got some work done this weekend.cut off all unneeded brackets and neck plates.cleaned up all welds.mocked up rear wheel and finder.
Fabbed up top and bottom triple tree plates and cut fork tubes and axle mounts.I make these out of two 1/8 th plate so I can use a dimple
dye to make the raised area to contact the bearing like the stock fork dose.tacked the gas tank together and made a top cover to it.this tank
Will be welded to the frame when I am done.also cut new slots for the motor

Also worked on my cold air intake system.it's made from 2 1/4 turbo silicone pipe .started mocking up header.I loved jeeps chain gard on his chopper.so he got me thanking what can I do for my chain gard .so I bought some cheep #35 chain and a 42 teeth hear I am making a chain gard
