Great Solution To your 1982 250r Brakes

[200x newby]

honestly i have no idea. you could take a chance as long as you have some fab skills. thats what i did just took a chance and it worked. i dont see why not as just about all the trikes with single piston disc brakes were the same or close enough.

I think I can manage getting the caliper on there, and the master too, it's just that line looks a little short for it. Does that thing has the resivor built in?

[200x newby]

yeah which is real nice for space savin!

Sweet, maybe I can rig up something, thanks for posting this!

ok back slightly to this thread

what about using this? (not brake related)

I may buy one and see if it will work or not, sure beats spending $300+ for some of the other ones... hell its cheaper then just a new cable!

i was looking at those also but the question that ran through my head is why buy what i dont need? Now that the money is flowing back in i may take a chance and see if i can rig one up to the 300r and 500r.

would this set up work on a 81 250r front brake

[200x newby]

yes but for the rear no.

[hsstsss]

do i have to make a special braket or anything to do it
whats the link to buy the brake set up

[200x newby]

links should be posted just do a search for pit bikes(xr50, xr70, crf50, crf70) brakes. you should just have to enlarge one of your front frork brake mount holes. refer back to original post for details.

that is an awesome find. I've been having the same issue with old 83 250r brake parts. either they're worn out or close to it. I am definately interested in the template you have. and the fact that they are dual piston instead of single is even better. How can i get that template???

for the 83 and 84 250r's you can use a rear caliper from a kx80 dirt bike. the calper itself bolts rite up to the 250r rear steel bracket + it uses the same pads. should work on the 82's also. then you wont need the adaptor for the daul piston one and looks more original. no modding just bolts rite up.

we did this to my freinds 84 atc250r so i know it works.

the kx 80 rear caliper works the same for the front brakes also. i did this to a 85 200x i had and a aircooled 250r uses the front caliper also.

i got mine from a 2000 or so. i noticed on ebay that back in the late 80's up till now use the same looking caliper. try to get as new as possibleso the sliders are not stuck

i see your point about being new stuff . Just figured i'd say about this stuff i figured out since it's just a bolt on and gives another option. They wont have to make custom brackets. you can find 05-07 80's being stripped on ebay.
