I see plenty of rear sets with drums, using the rod to activate the brake. Who's running rear sets with discs? How did you set it up? What brand? Lots of pics would be helpful, too.

For my '79 SF, I looked at my YZF which has the cylinder attached to the footpeg assembly (same as many sportsbikes these days) and thought ah....I could make that fit...
Bought a footpeg assembly from a parts bike and made aluminium plates to mount to the existing footpeg studs. Had to shorten the width of the brake pedal end slightly to clear kicker (steel pedal so easy to weld) and make a few minor mods to fit the brake light spring/switch. Mounted reservoir inside my 'electrics box' bracket. Worked out quite well but ran into issues with kickstart clearance, meaning I've got it mounted a couple of inches further back than I'd like. I'm going to (eventually) modify a spare kickstart lever so I can move the pegs forward.
Needed to modify the gearchange linkage with a longer threaded rod section but that is straightforward. With the integral cylinder its then just a case of fitting a brake line of the correct length. Footpeg is spring loaded so I have to clip it up to kickstart, then flip down (I have no electric foot).
'Fraid I haven't got very good pics as yet.
