    Per EBC neither the BRK007 or BRK012 relo bracket works with the 2008 TE450.

    I have a 2008 TE450 and a pair of Excel SM Rims that were used on a carb'd TE. But the EBC Relo Bracket that I received with rims doesn't match up with the Brembo caliper on the 50mm Machozzi forks.

    I'm struggling to find a relocation bracket that will work and am hoping y'all can point me in the right direction. I want to be able to field swap my SM wheels and my dirt wheels, while I'm camping in the Ozarks of Arkansas.

    My plan of action is as follows:
    1. Buy a plug/play relocation bracket.
    2. Buy a 260 Rotor (I'm not racing or even doing track days)
    3. Make a relocation bracket on a CNC mill
    I know some of y'all have dealt with this and am hoping for some good advice.
    Thanks for the consideration.

    For now I went with option 2. I found a 260mm used rotor on the BMP Ebay page. Hope to be rolling early next week.

    For now I went with a 260mm rotor. I had to drill the rotor bolts out of the hub... Definitely a pucker moment. Waiting for some M6x1 bolts to deliver before I can proceed.

    Idk if yours is the same, my bike is a 2005 te450 with the 45mm marzocchi's. I'd bet the legs are the same. I simply bought a 320mm adapter for Ktm off amazon. Bolted right up. I didn't use an offset disc so I had to put a few washers behind the bracket.
