That's why you were suggested disc brakes. If you plan to go fast, you need to be able to stop just as quickly

Yep, I totally understand, i really like the hyper, what forks would be the same size so I can put disk brakes on it?

Any 26 inch forks should fit

Forks come in different sizes, length, diameter, neck tube etc.. Measure what you have to replace them. That's what I'd do.
I am using the rather hefty front fork the Hyper comes with myself very successfully for the 3+ years I have been running it now.
All I did was use an "Adel" clamp to strap the caliper adapter to the fork and the forked end of the adapter into the axel as seen in pics below.

YEP...I want to be able to be able to visibly see it when I am riding around if the nuts on either side or front and rear visibly back off for any reason...It never has yet but my fat butt is sitting on this thing and I just want to know at a glance if I have to tighten anything like this or pay the consequences if it does happen and I didn't take note.
Common trick in many industries to track fastener migration. It gives a quick visual reference for inspections, and a handy way to quickly ""re-torque" if it has moved. I use fine tip paint pens a lot at worn for this. Also use it a lot on bikes at home.

The Klunkerson is inspired from a simpler time. When friends would help friends piece together old beach cruisers to race each other down dirt roads and see who would get to the bottom first, laughing and dusting each other out along the way. When we spoke to Dennis about making a non-BMX bike...
Disc brakes, made of 4130 steel, plenty of space in the frame for an engine.

Hey everybody, I'm new here and have a question. Do you think this would be a good bike for a phantom 85?

And what size sprocket should I use?
I kinda have to be able to pull from a dead stop, I weigh about 180lbs.
But I still want a decent top speed.
