Anyone have/done a drive side brake conversion?
I'm currently in the process of modifying my Breakout and am considering doing a Performance Machine drive side brake. Anyone out there have or done this mod? I'd like to do a drive side brake as I have a set of RSD Domino contrast cut wheels coming in about 5 weeks and would like a nice clean view of the rear wheel.

What bike do you ride? Please let me know how this goes. I want to put it (PM brake kit) on my 2014 Breakout with RSD wheels. I was told by the guy/place I'm buying my wheels from that it wouldn't work on my bike because it has ABS. I'm going to get a second opinion as it states on the PM site that it is ABS compatible.

Mine is a 2015 Breakout. We were told by PM that mine would be the first to be completed??? I am using their Syndicate wheels. I think it is the hub that requires some minor custom work for the ABS sensor.
ABS function should not change if the braking force is not altered or wheel diameter changed.
There is an ABS adaptor available to compensate for increasing front wheel to 23"
Will send through some photos when we get that far. Parts have been on order for over two months now so hopefully not much longer.

Exile cycles makes a set up where you don't have to weld a tab on to the swing arm.
You won't be able to use the RSD pulley though. You'll have to switch to a chain drive. Which is not an awful thing to do.
I get the feeling you wanna stick with the RSD pulley though.

Yeah, your right Alain. I already ordered the pulley, but that would look pretty good!
