[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 172300, member: 2517"] Go ask the well-respect Ian Savage about fitting disc brakes. He had an emergency stop one time, couldn't make it, and was able to dive to the side. He wound up nearly two car lengths from where he wanted to stop. He then installed the discs. If discs had been available the factory would have installed them. If memory ser ves correctly the auto racing world saw discs in the mid-Fifties so they weren't in popular usage when out bikes were made. I'm sure the Speet brakes work well and (probably) the Schmitz ones as well. Have never seen the Schmitz and I'm an avid MPH reader. Looks be dammed, if it'll save your bacon, install it whatever it is. [/QUOTE]
