I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Travis I live north of Dallas. I have been lurking for some time trying to figure out what I wanted to build. I decided on a whizzer. I bought a 2005 Whizzer the other day that I am in the process of redoing. I have torn the engine down and sent the cylinder, head, and clutch to Quenton to be modified. I intend of a custom frame eventually but for now I just want to get it up and going and reliable.
The rear brakes on my bike were shot. I dont know if this has been done on a whizzer here, i couldn't find a thread on it. My thoughts were to remove the band break and turn the inner housing around and tap it for a disk brake. I will also secure the back side of it with nuts and lock tight on the bolts. I did just that today. I also built a mount for the Disc break caliper. I still have to paint the adapter and add the nuts and lock tight on the disc brake.
I appreciate all input. I would like thoughts and opinions on this and I wanted to know if it will hold up.
Thanks,
Travis
