Here's my ''problem'' : I want to mount my stock rear caliper under the swingarm, for achieving this I need to find a good spot on it to bolt a brake stay. Which one of a pulled or pushed caliper have the greatest energy transfered to the brake stay?
Here's the 2 options, just tell me if you think it can be safe and what you think about that!
#1: Mount a 1/8 thick bar to the 8mm bolt that keep the caliper on the bracket and then mount it to the swingarm with a swivel of fix mounting point?? Do you think this bolt is strong enough? I'm not planning on racing, it's a cruiser, but in case of emergency braking I still need to have a bolt that will not snap
No dimension but here's a quick plan of the plate, I know you'll understand what I mean
Option#2: Drill a hole (#1) thru side to side for an 8mm (~5/16'') bolt and 2 others (#2) maybe 1/2'' deep in the bracket, tap them and put an 8mm bolts, make a custom bracket that will mount there and have a swivel mounting point at both ends of a stay rod or plate, whatever... something that will work like the oem configuration imho!!
I think #1 could be the cleaness, but #2 the more safe? What you think?
Thanks alot!
