Wow, very cool.
How is the aluminum caliper mounting plate secured to keep from rotating.
Also, can you show use a picture of your solution to mount the master cylinder for the rear?

They look like GSX-R forks. Awesome work on the rear brake.

you will see the disk of earlier goldwing that is raised about 1.5-2.00 c.m and about 6mm thick and it didnt work because i didnt have that space between the center and the left side of the swingarm so i change that with a disk from kawashaki gpz 400 of 88 model from the front wheel and this disk is 4mm thick and flat,as for the brucket see the foto below.PS i also put a spacer between the aluminioum centre and brucket.also another brucket from the top side of calliper to swingarm.Thanks for your coment.

Very cool and genius set-up with that rear disc brake. And those exhaust pipes are Bad-Ass!

For future reference, in case any of us want to do this, do you have some dimensions or a cad drawing or something of the adapter you had made?
