Rear Disc Brake conversion for 1981 SH

If the calipers hit the spokes, can you add spacers to move the rotor and caliper out far enough to clear the spokes?

That would be the quick and easy solution but unfortunately space is at a premium. The Talon hubs I have are *wide*. There's barely enough room for the rotor bolts to clear the swingarm as it sits...but yes, otherwise it would give me some relief.

I'm prolly $600 and a LOT of labor into that zooky setup....
Yup, until I order up a couple of rims and appropriate spokes I'd likely be something well over $500. That doesn't even count an appropriate caliper.
And then I'm looking at a fair amount of machine work to make a hanger and a brake stay.

The bike likely won't see a racetrack again or be a daily rider (heck, my daily riders aren't even daily riders anymore :) ). I've got too many other scoots competing for my money right now as track day season begins :bike:
