    Looking for front disc conversion for my ZB50

    Just wondering if you know where i can get the front disc conversion for my Honda ZB50? I really don't like the stopping power of drums in the front and the look of a rotor and caliper would be better! Also would i have to change the front fork tubes to mount the caliper on?

    I know that storm makes a disk conversion for xr/crf50's that works by locking the rotor onto three splines on the inside of the hub, and the caliper mounts to anything with a brake stop. But I guess it just depends on what the inside of the wheel looks like. Or maybe because you should just sell the bike to me



    Where's Z88R? I know he knows that answer to this question...Also throw some pictures of that bad boy up here!

    I'll be able to set you up with the information you need and the companies you need to deal with overseas to get the parts. You can either run the stock disc brake setup from the JDM Honda Monkey R or Monkey RT, or I'd run the NSR50 setup and move to 12" front and rear wheels, or you can run the faddy setup.



    Give me a couple of days, and I'll post links and the information.

    contact Grahame at FVEJ.com if you want to switch to NSR running gear. That would be the optimal solution and would be the best suspension for the ZB. He can also source you Monkey R (JDM Z forks that come with the disc break setup, and you'll also need the front wheel. That also would be an ideal setup. All of these parts will be used and in good condition.



    Second, I would look at the Faddybike.com forks, as they make them in the correct length for the ZB, and you can also get a hub and disc brake from them.



    Lastly, I wouldn't purchase anything from powerbike, but that's just my personal opinion.
