yeah, this is cool. but you could at least put down who you took the pictures from. Hawaii forums has more people then this forum, its kinda bad to just give credit to the forums.

actually from what i understand the rear brake set up has been around for almost 10 years, only now we are just seeing it in the usa...The first pic i saw was about 3 years ago. They are pretty rare. That set up im not to sure but it might be homemade. If it is its a nice set up. Remeber that dio style 2 strokes have not been made in years. In the usa since 2000, LOL mace in mexico. In japan they switched from a vertical style motor to a horizontal style like a jog, "dio 3" Then to the 4 stroke zx versions. Im not to keen on the actual dates, but im sure someone in the hawaii forums would know for sure!

That looks like it could be fabbed up pretty easily by a machine shop... pretty much any rear caliper system off Ebay could be fitted.

It's cool, but I really question why you'd want such an overpowering rear brake. Would you have tires stickiness to take advantage of this, or would it just lock up? Big brakes belong up front, IMHO.

LOL sure would make fun for doing long skids and safer wheelies!
I see the problem is finding the correct style hub set up for that.

The hub mounting would be the trick. I'm thinking that you'd chuck the stock steel wheel in a lathe and create a flat touch down. Then center in a mill to create your 4 bolt spacing centered on the axle. Then machine an aluminum block for the disk to attach to. I'd pull an OEM disk off something common the right size. The caliper mount is dead simple; some 1/4" plate, bandsaw and drill press, some washers to center up the caliper, and you're in business.

Or just mill out a new rear wheel out of a big chunk of billet.

Mmm... big chunks of billet...

While you were at it, you could turn a new front wheel as well.

nah no need to go thru that trouble of milling a new wheel. Those are removable hubs. 4 bolts and its off! The problem is to find that rear disco brake hub...

How does the exhaust mount up? It looks like the caliper bracket is stealing the mounting holes for the pipe.

Dac · Post by **Dac** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 3:38 pm

looks to me that the huge pipe has custom mounting.

i dont think a normal pipe would come even close to mounting up.

Post by **noiseguy** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 4:49 pm

Stock exhaust? Seriously? If you're going to this amount of trouble, a custom exhaust is just icing on the cake.

Tru72: Removable hub? So is this a wheel and hub assembly, with the wheel bolting on a 4-bolt circle to a seperate hub that then bolts to the scooter? That would make the mounting of the brake disk a lot easier.
