LOL that is a little full auto bb gun I made back before I became a machinist. It fires about 22 rounds per second, shoots .177cal steel bbs. I designed and made it my self. check out the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL580sXCv1o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gq7QbbEc2s

Yes I hope so, I think paying 750.00 is a bit much for just wanting a disc set up. If I do this right I will make a kit that will sell for about 200-250 for everything you need (the disc, lever, line, and caliper. I will work on a back disc next. I wish I had more time to work on these things but construction season in full effect in my state and I am busy as *.. I also want to make my own side stands.

I know there is another dude making them on he :coolcruise: re, but I cant buy his... I am too stubborn to buy an item I can make myself.

Will do, I have a few different thoughts on that. Too bad they come stock with such a cool suspension design! This would be easy otherwise.

Whoah this is pretty sick!
You should post this is the hawaii thread, some guys like the completely different front end, other lime the stock swingarm style and this would be a real cool updrage as far as brakes.
You should try out a design for rear disks, just a thought.
Only head of one guy in hawaii having it, and he barely, i mean seldom super saiyan rarely comes out.

Thanks, I am trying to figure the front out first because it will help to most. The rear is definately on my agenda. What did you mean by "lime the stock swingarm"? Do you have any pics? Take it easy...

Thanks Veedub!

This is off topic but I had a quick thought tonight to jazz up the kicker. I saw a nice aluminum aftermarket one on somebody's photo earlier. I thought I might make a quick custom tip for one of my elites..
