|
I currently have the rear mag wheel with disk brake on my 82 Heritage. What is the best way to convert to a drum brake, and would there be any complications I'm not thinking of? Also are there any rear wheels from other bikes that are interchangable?

It is easier to convert back to drum than the other way round. The brake stabilizer is on the top of the swing arm with the disc brake , that can be cut of and mounted on the bottom for the drum. The rear master cylinder reservoir and hose will be removed and the brake actuator, operating off the brake lever on the inside of the frame, has to be changed over to a drum lever
