Are you changing swing arms at the same time? The brake torque bars mount differently.

Yeah, im swappin to a GS arm so the mount will have to be flipped to the bottom. my stock disc setup sucks, not sure if mine just needs rebuilt or they are all kinda weak but i found a good price on a wide rear wheel but its a 900 hub. i guess i will be looking for a 900 sprocket carrier too. and figuring out a linkage to run the drum. thanks.
Hey Billy, Hows Capt. Amer.?
Yes your disc probally did not work right.
The drum works fine for street use. If the drum lining is not wore out.
Make up some threaded rod with heim joints.
Parts are easy to find on ebay for the drum wheel.
Here is what I did for a drum KZ900

Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.

Clean and handsome.
Wondering about lever arm angle.
Good Fortune!

Perhaps the pads were overheated (possibly from brakes dragging for whatever reason) and are now crystallized....my stock disc setup sucks, not sure if mine just needs rebuilt or they are all kinda weak....
