Suzuki T500 Rear Disc Brake

Post by Enginethusiast »

Need a little help, I'm sure its simple.

After finally finding a GT750 dual disc set up for my T500 I started to wonder if I could go with a disc in the rear. If anyone has done this before or can point me in the right avenue would be great.

Cheers:)

Might give you an idea. The GS back end is a straight swap for the GT550 so after that you only have to make a mount for the rear m/c.
Check lengths etc on your swing arm to compare,
I did the complete swap so I could return to standard easily should I so wish, but if you don't, you'll just need torque arm brackets welding to yours.
Lots of early GS models with disc rears.

A little intro would be nice too.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
