1996 Vulcan Classic

Apparently I'm going to continue to look for ways to customize by 800.

Has anyone ever converted the rear brake to disc? If so, please share.

I'd be surprised to learn that anyone has done that. Any particular reason you want to do it?

 

[amassey]

No real reason - According to my wife I like to alter everything I own and I would have to probably agree. If I had access to a full machine shop I don't think I would come out for a month.
You are right though, I would imagine no one has made the conversion...but then again, I've seen wierd stuff folks have done to their bikes.

I love weird mods. On other people's bikes.

I am curious if anyone has done that conversion though.

did you ever find out if anyone has done this? i'd like to do it on my bike because the drum is such an eyesore to me...its got a bobbed rear fender and all i see is that drum...i'd like to show off my rear like my gian 21" front!

To my mind, the rear drum brake is very....um, traditional? (I despise the over-used terms "old school" or "retro"). The chain is cool too, and chains don't get any respect any more, but it's undeserved.

On a bobber it looks right, but that's JMO.
