[email protected] Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 im not worried if it directly bolts up inplace or not , this is going on a custom built chassis. Quote
RNBRAD Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Iv'e seen resevoirs that are connected to the plunger for the rear. But I've never seen nore heard of one having a resevoir made into the calipers. Calipers generate intense heat, that is why resevoirs are remote. They would have to be made out of heat savy materials. If I were you I'd find some triple piston units off a wrecked crotch rocket, if you want the best in function and weight. Quote
FireHead Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 :baseball_innocent: You'll find brakes that have a resevoir built into the control portion, but not the caliper. You may want to have a look at some Harley stuff. Quote

You may want to have a look at some Harley stuff. Sorry if you misunderstood me chase, I meant they have the resevoir on the main plunger of the brake system, up by where your foot brake is. Not back on the caliper. Someone here on the HQ did it in the past and it looked super clean. I will see if I can find you some pics of it. Quote
Polish Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 A lot of the MX bikes have great braking systems....ecpecially the newer models............The part that will be a challange is your Modifacation and mounting ...........but either way it would be trick!............Remember Chase MX calapers are stopping a very lightwieght 19" rear wheel.......as opposed to a whole rear assemble on a quad.........I think stopping power will be a factor for those smaller calippers...........but give it a try anyways..............good luck Quote

Mounting wouldn't be hard. Mounts are easy to make. Quote
[email protected] Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 that is exactly what im talking about , i seen the billet shit before matoon makes for the stock assembly. Im probly going to just buy the billet thing they make for the stock assembly , given the fact that i allready have a few stock rear master cylinders ( ones even polished ) laying around . Quote
