1967 SS180
I want a front disc brake
Suggestions please

Is there a Crimaz disc made to fit it?

Will it take a (modified) PK fork? SIP finally got a bunch of them back in stock, but they're pretty pricy. Like $450 USD for the fork, plus putting a disc on it.

If you were going down that route, a P fork would be heaps cheaper. Yes it does require much more input shaping the guard mount, and you would need to have it cut down yourself, but you'd still come out with the majority of your $450.

Both of those options mean losing the look of the front end though. A Crimaz would be nice but I don't think he makes one for this front end (which looks closer to a smallframe than anything else to me).

Hi Eltel69,

I went down that route to match the front with the 252-engine in the rear...

Went all in for a taylor made PK fork with floating disk, radial caliper and BGM Pro shock.
On the handlebar I went for a Crimaz handle/pump which I've used with success on my 90Racer.

Be aware of that a "standard" PK fork needs alot of work to look good in a SS frame with regards to fitment of mudguard vs frame... [img][/img]

We fit a PX fork to one with just an extra bottom bearinf race and added a piece to the front mudguard

Interesting stuff. Here those oldies are so expensive you could buy 2 used 300gts with that money, and voila; disks!
