here they are installed, i still need to fab up somthing for the brake cable.

now heres my one issue with these forks, and please if anyone has done this mod and shared the same experience please tell me. It appears that the brake tab on the forks barely sits in the grove on the drum brake assembley. and i mean barely. it does not move but just barely sits in there. even if i open it up more it can not sit in the tab anymore cause of the spacing on the drum assembley where the axle goes through.

you gotta weld on more of the tab on

Brake cable is easy ill see if i can find pics of mine. And yes weld on that tab or drill two holes and put an extension on it with two recessed bolts

i was told shving the tab down or opening theslot was enough, it def donnt move.

I just shaved down my tab a bit so it would sit in the slot more, and never had any issues at all.

same thing i did.

even if i shaved the tab more, it would not sit in the slot more. look at the drum were it butts up against the fork were the axle slides in, theres no more room. can u guys get pics how your tab slides in the drum?

Mine was just barely sitting in that slot. I figured it would come out...Like I said though, I never had any issues.

You could maybe even shave down just a bit of the drum, and space accordingly on the other side, but that will just be pulling your front wheel to the side from the center of the forks too.

 

[deputyperk]

so your front brak drum sat just like mine in my pic?

Hate to interrupt but what swingarm is that?

Measure if your wheel is in the center of the forks. I'd bet it's off set to the right about 1/4". I had to take about that much off the brake drum and grind down the tab on the fork to fit into the 50 drum slot. I did have to add a thick washer on the right side to even out the spacing or just have a new spacer machined to fix that.



The toughest thing was the brake bracket. A lot of people just zip ty the line to the forks but that only flexes or slips and the front brakes suck. Just make sure you make a sturdy bracket that wont flex when you pull on the brake hard.



What's up with that HD spring you have? Want to sell it to me?

 

[deputyperk]

wheel position is dead center perfect. not sure what spring your reffering to?

Is that a 70 swingarm?
