my scooter has drum brakes front and back with 10" tires. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to upgrade the brake system on one of these to disk brakes on atleast the front. i am finding the stopping power of the drums alittle lacking for my taste.

Yours has drum on the front,,not sure if I ever saw that except maybe on an older bike?
To do the front you would need to change the forks with a caliper mount fork,get a master cylinder, and get a wheel with rotor mount,,for the rear well that would be a different story...

yea it is an 08 ... 150 gy6 .... and definitely is drum drum. looks alot like this style here www.scrappydogscooters.com/Handsome_Boy_parts.htmlso looks like most parts are available to switch front .... was just wondering if anyone has attempted before with success or not. i have put a bbk on the 157qmj and upgraded ignition and larger 30mm carb.... seeing speeds over 60 mph ...til i broke my speedo cable yesterday .... ordered new one ... so the stopping power or lack of i should say is a bit scary .... a few times have had to make a quick stop from upper end of speed and was real close to not making it.  |
