I know this has been covered before, but search isn't really turning up what I'm looking for. Plus, my question has a "twist" to it.
Let's say I have a '78 XS with spoked wheels; front disc/rear drum. I'm brainstorming about converting to mag wheels but I want to do the rear disc conversion that uses a front mag wheel.
Here are a few Q's:
1) I know Omars sells a kit, but can it be done at home with a little ingenuity?
2) Isn't it best to get a swingarm that has the correct mounts and tabs for a rear disc brake?
3) Are there any tabs on the frame (for the rear master cylinder, for example) that are NOT on a drum brake frame?
4) Give me as complete a shopping list as possible to make this conversion.
