    what is the cable fixed to the sprocket cover for? for revs?
    I can remember seeing a 430 sold with rear disc and Left hand brake over here.

    I am about to try a bike with RH gear change, so will be trying left rear brake, but I like the idea of the hand brake

    yeah I think the hand brake would be easier to make........once I get the bike together I will give that setup a go I think

    there are only Huskies!
    Depending on your budget you could use a 2 stroke disc brake husky rear wheel & caliper with a hydraulic clutch kit.
    You would only need to make a bracket for the caliper & get a hose made to length for it to work.
    P.S. maybe also need to get new wheel bearings if the axle sizes are different.
