    Rear Brake Conversion

    I was wondering if anybody made or knows how to convert the rear drum brake to a disc brake.

    its impossible, one the drum brake is in the gear casing with all the gears thats y we have that bulge on the swing arm is not only for the drum and second were are u gonna mount the brake theres no space on the right side and u will haveto cut slots in the axel to hold the disk in place but iwish we had disk brake i hate drum brakes

    Drum brakes wear out very fast, because water and sand etc... get inside them and wear them out.
