I have Yahama 650 wheels and went with the front rotors but I'm having them milled down to fit a go kart caliper. The rotor is solid so it isn't directional.

Then used go kart brakes, which were very reasonable in price, and not too hard to add to the hubs. Some thought that they wouldn't be enough, but they hold fine during runup, and with all the horror stories about nosing over braking during rollout, these are just what the doctor ordered for me. walt evans ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

I use the original shoe brakes and the cam lever on the brake hub. They are mechanical and won't stop on a dime but will hold the plane for turning on tight strips.

If so the cam will spread the shoes with left or right rotation. I made my own cable attachments and simply repositioned the levers to both pull the same way. If there is only one shoe actuator then the braking will be even. "Single leading shoe". If it is a drum brake with two actuator and a link between them then the wheel running in reverse will not have the same braking power. "Double leading shoe" was a big improvement in motorcycle drum brakes but didn't hold worth a dam going backwards. But then again a bike isn't likely to do that. John Mc To thoes of you using motorcycle wheels: are you using the braking system thet came with the wheels? If so, how do you set-up the brakes when one wheel turns in a normal direction and the other is turning in reverse? Thanks for the help.
