Big help, thanks!!

Oh, we can handle mean.....Can dish too.....

Thought it was pretty simple though, its the wrong part number. It's intended to be a front, not a rear.. Part of owning an EVO for me is making good better.. This rotor was never intended to be on the rear of an '08, let alone a '95..

ok got it I just did the same thing to my buddys shovel chopper this weekend it was a pain we bought the brembo brake setup off an 2010 bagger we ended up with a polished 300mm rotor off a victory and redrilled it to fit the 2000up wheel

almost forgot the best part we had to switch the bearings in the wheel from 1" to 3/4" and make a bushing for the brake bracket from 25mm to 3/4"

I'm all about using factory parts.. Honestly, I'm tired of bling and want good tried and true, reliable parts. So many guys yank off perfectly good parts to put on shiny stuff.. I'm fairly secure with stock parts over generic, plus they are relatively cheap.. So, with this part of my project, I'm using an '06 vintage wheel with 1" axle, '08 Brembo rear bracket, rotor and caliper.. The rotor has no idea what year frame its mounted to.. Not sure why it would be difficult, but I'm not done yet, so maybe I'll run into something..

ok the 08 up rotor will not fit that rim that's why we went with victory rotor and redrilled it the bracket you have will work but it will have to be moded drilled for a 1" axle you only have to take out .4mm next you will have to make new axles spacers and mod a brake stay
