new brake disk for the tracker

[drewpy]

mags def leave you more room, I have about 1mm either side with the caliper central.

that bracket took 2 hours to make, not hard just lots of drill, sawing and filing!

That is awesome work Drewpy! I ran across this thread while looking to see what people have done for caliper brackets.

If anyone has a CAD drawing of a bracket I'd be interested in getting a hold of it as I have access to facilities on my university campus.

thanks carreragt7

each installation is different, CAD xs has a cad drawing, but there are a few permentations that would make it unusable.

you need to get your parts together first and take it from there.

Thanks for the info! I have already sent CadXS a PM about his drawing. I'm not super knowledgeable with CAD programs but have a few Manufacturing Engineering Technology buddies who are old pros with various programs.

I've got a Nissin caliper from a CBR600RR that I'd like to use, as well as it's rotors but I know the rotors aren't the correct fitment for our bikes. Does the Seca have different brakes than the regular 400? I've gotten a little confused by some of the info I've come across online about what is compatible between the SOHC and DOHC, and/or with the XS650.

 

[drewpy]

have you checked the list of disks with the correct holes that will fit the sohc hub?

seca is a totally different bike to the sohc bikes

I have been using threads such as the following for guidance:

My bike is an 82 Seca, so I'm trying to figure out which forum is more beneficial to refer to, the XS400 or the XS650. Either way, don't want to clutter up your awesome thread so I'll shut up.

I think you need to be looking a XJ stuff, namely the xj550 model and what fits that.

The German guys fit those forks as they are for twin disk setup
