Cable opererated disc brakes

[tigman175]

Has anyone ever came across a cable operated disc brake system before?? I have seen them on go carts and minibikes before but havent seen them on anything on a larger scale. I am trying to avoid a master cylinder on my build, but i dont want to have to pay $300 for a front drum........ if i can even find one.

some hondas had them look at a CB200 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CB200 a dual leading shoe brake off the Honda 350/360/450/500 series shouldn't be that much if you go with a drum brake setup, yamaha xs650 17mm axle, hondas use 15mm axle so bearings would need changed

You could do a cable operated Master cylinder like some older BMW's use. Puts the master cylinder under your tank so you can have the look of cable operated and the power of hydralic.

You can use something like this: http://www.fabkevin.com/Remote Master.htm

I'm sure you can make one cheaper. Just an idea.

I've thought about mounting something like that under the motor or somewhere to hide it. Ive also thought about getting a cable caliper from a minibike or go cart but i'm hesitant/cautious of there effectiveness.

MV600, road 4 cyl, had them in the 60', Egli Vincent too and then Honda 125JX/200... does not really work as the pads are not kept against the disc (Honda had a complicated system not really working)

Steal one off of an old Seca!

I think the Suzuki SV650 uses a system that has a remote master cylinder (sure I read that somewhere )
