Rebuild
If you like your wheel you can get a more modern hub and lace it in. It's not a bad job but it takes some fitting. If your bike has the crossover brake pedal you'll need to fab something to be able to actuate a master cylinder.
Also, you'll most likely need a custom rear axle as most disc hubs use atleast a 3/4" & I'm pretty sure yours is smaller and metric. Yeah, metric, lol.
I recently went the opposite direction with my ironhead and I think going from disc to drum was an easier venture...but it isn't that bad. Just be patient.

Thanks for all the info guys and I think mine does have the crossover for the brake cause I still have the right side shifter which if I remember right they changed to left side after my year
Mine is a 76 with the crossover. I used the crossover tube left over from removing the brake to move my shifter to the left side then retro-fitted evo forward controls to the stock front motor mounts and bolted a master cylinder to the cam cover...but then decided I liked the mechanical drum better but I left the brake pedal on the right side.
