    He is right..the rear disk of Hero Honda HUNK which i believe has the same setup as the DAZZLER in reference gets locked up very,very easily.its pretty dangerous for newbies who tend to use the rear more often.
    Did not know that!
    Wouldn't a solution be to lengthen the lever on he brake pedal (or shorten the pedal) so that more effort is needed for the same braking power? (there again, would need professionally done job).

    I had just a look at pictures of the Unicorn/ Dazzler, and saw that it has a very long pedal. Difficult to say what is the ratio between the length of the pedal and that of the lever since the cylinder is hidden, and the ratio between the area of the piston in the cylinder and the one in the caliper also counts (and that can't be known at all unless one knows the characteristics of the parts), but anyway I am sure that Honda has measured, compared, tried, etc...

    I was ready to go through some experiments on that, but am perfectly happy with my setup as it came up.

    So, best way seems to get the bike tuned to what you feel suitable for you and your driving style!

    When I do something stupid, my consolation is to know that I'll do the worse one only once!

        Great DIY thread, description and the drawings are too fab. thanks a lot.Has any xBhpian in India tried this out? Indian local mechanics are so "good" that they will make a hell of the bike while doing this!

                the most important risk is that the disc locks very quickly and the tyre skids.. so i suggest it is better not to have a rear disc unless you have an efficient abs system
                @ lucky - Great work here.. Congratulations for this writeup and many thanks..

                @ chinmaya- As far as disc on dazzler's rear is concerned.. The tyre is too thin for panic rear braking.. Use that like a drum break on the tyres dazzler comes with.

                Edit- Oh man, thats a very old thread i am typing on.. Anyways!

                    Mods, can we get this thread moved/merged into the Modified FZ16 thread, If Luc doesn't mind, That way we can have this fantastic writeup and beautiful hand drawn illustrations in the one place.

                    Thanks.

                              It's not such a thing, I have an FZ rear rim on my V1 R15, the disc brake adapter boss needs fabricating on a lathe and I guess you will need to fabricate a disc brake mount on your swing arm. You will also need to decide on the caliper and disc. I run a v2 swing arm/caliper and disc on my v1 with the fz rim with no issues, as the bike is in bits right now for painting will post a pic of the hub adapter thingy when I get my bits back.
                              Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                              More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                              Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                              Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                              Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !
