I have no idea but is this a disc brake? If so where did you get it. I have been looking for a rear brake for my 90...

Thanks

During 2004, I designed a foot brake for the factory cable / drum rear brake on our '03 Pred-90. Yesterday, we took our little Pred-90 out for a spin in our back yard. All I can say is WOW!!!! The custom foot brake (even cable / drum based) is a huge improvement from the hand lever system our '03 Pred-90 used to have. We can lock the back tires without even trying. After 20 minutes of driving our Pred-90, I'm now a "huge believer in foot brake control". If possible, we'd never go back to rear brake hand controls for trail riding.

To me, all minis MUST have a foot brake system. Better yet, foot brake that is hydro DISC based. For pictures of our customized foot brake, surf:

Happy surfing and cloning for your specific brand of mini.

Hope this helps.

i converted our 99 eton 90 to a rear hydro disc brake. in 99 the etons had rear drums. i used the disc and bearing carrier off a dinli helix. i have not done a predator yet but it could be dome. the parts to do new are pretty expensive. we are doing a polaris scrambler 50 right now and are useing the whole setup off a new eton . might want to check an atv salvage yard and see if you can get all the parts off a junker. another guy i know just put the dinli setup on his 2003 xtreme 90. like spike i am now working on a foot pedal for the rear brake, i am using a master cylinder setup off a yamaha warrior. i have already fabbed and welded the mount on for the master cylinder. just have to have a custom pedal made now,
