I've had the bits to do this for ages but just got round to it as it seems to be the Fatbikes year for being spoilt.
My rear brake kept overheating(fluid boiling?) when I was 2up in twisty hills in Italy a couple of years ago. A bit scary as I was going into hairpins not sure if it was going to work. Hopefully this easy mod will prevent that from happening again. Got the bits from a breaker, The mount's from an SS and just needed the anchor slot filing out a bit, the hose is a clutch line.

Cheers, Keith.

Do you really use the rear brake for braking so hard?
I only it for stabilizing the bike in tight corners & keeping the rear wheel from lifting when braking hard...

streetfighter, where´s the difference to the original brake other than it`s mounted upside down ?
The caliper is the same isn`t it ?
Angelix, I did that on my Paso. If you find your drawings I`d be interested in seeing them

I was using a lot of rear brake as I had a blown fork seal and was trying to work the forks less but I do use the rear a lot to keep the ride smoother and when 2 up.

Standard caliper, just thought it'd get cooler air down there, plus lower c of g.

Hi,

Did you make the connecting rod yourselves or did you buy that part from another bike?

Cheers Joep

I had mine made as the ones from the other Ducs is too short.

G.

you`ve got pm

G.
do you have fitted the 907's swingarm keeping the stock rim???
Why???
Ciao

of course. I`ll never go 17" and the 907ie swingarm looks original, there`s more space for the 180 tire and if the wheel is set farther back I can extend wheelbase and and slightly lift the rear which would affect handling positively. Combining these parts is a challenge though as it needs several new parts made which means one won`t see it everywhere (if I had a 907ie I would do the same - I swear )

G.

you know I mean putting Oscams on it ?!

I like the idea of a fully floating rear brake , and wanna do it as part of my 17" conv, but we are going to need to be real sneaky and cunning to keep the centre stand , and the torque arm mount sure wont bolt onto the crankcase ah la SS
