Title: Quick Brake Disk Question
Post by: Julio A. on April 07, 2011, 10:32:17 PM

Does the Earlier dual shock R65's have the same Disk up front with the newer Monoshock R65's?

Ok, but do you think it is possible to fit a monoshock disk to the older dual shock models with modifications?

Besides offset,do you know any difference between the diameters of the two rotors? Do you think it is possible to fabricate a spacer of some sort so I could correct the offset between the two two rotors?

I desperately need a new rotor but the only one readily available is from a monoshock R65 from the spare parts. I couldn't compare the dimensions since the bike is parked somewhere else.

The only thing the R65 Mono brake disk has in common with the R65 twin shock brake disk is that its off a bike called an R65.



(oh, and its circular)
