hello, i have a 2002 goldwing with a lehman trike kit which already has disc brakes, but the costs are out of this world for replacement parts. Does your conversion use off the shelf items?
Just an update here. I have just completed what I would call the supreme test of my disc brake conversion. 2,800 miles up the Cherohala, Blue Ridge, and Skyline Drive. Deals Gap and Dragon's Tail included. Never had a single problem, never faded in the rain and every possible test of stopping power presented itself...including the deer in the road and that camper making a U-turn in the middle of the Blue Ridge. Nothing is loose, nothing fell off, nothing leaked, nothing has to be adjusted and pad wear is nominal.
This is not solely a Lehman conversion. Many late model kits still come with drum brakes and the conversion can be made on those also. When riding season is over and all that ice-n-snow is on the ground, this would be a good upgrade for the self proclaimed mechanical genus and master mechanic.
Nothing is broken or wasted and you can always go right back to your drums if you ever want to. You will loose a bucket full of parts and some pounds along the way. Those calipers and shiny rotors look real good through those wheels too!
