Someone from the MOCO should be interviewing Dave.

Not sure if the mound is thicker or thinner requiring different spacers and where does it line up the caliper to the brake rotor to the 2000 up rims they could have different size hubs as well..
I think it would be a trial and error thing.. Maybe somebody's done one I don't know..
I have a 2010 rear brake on my Shovel....so it can be done, just not sure how much work involved as I found it like that but appears to just be a bracket that is held in place by the shock mount and slides onto a bracket on the swingarm...or something like that...I should probs go and stare at it for a while and see how it was done.
