I have acquired most of the parts (rear mag w/rotor, swing arm, caliper, hose and MC, brake pedal shaft) to add a rear disc brake to my 1980 but have one question. I know the rear master cylinder bolts to ears on the frame but, of course, my bike does not have those ears. What have others done to be able to secure the MC? I know tabs could be welded to the frame. Is that what most do and is it the best/safest bet? I would like to hear from others who have converted a newer XS400 (post '79) to a rear disc. I good close-up pic of the exact MC location with a measurement would be of great help, too. Thanks!
Any other comments about such a conversion are also welcome.
