Here is my completed brake conversion,I used a 97-02 yamaha master cylinder and caliper,the master cylinder bolts right on and the wires plug right in,super easy,the caliper was a little harder to do, I made an adapter bracket from 3/8x 2 inch flat stock and you have to reverse the caliper, meaning what was the inside of the caliper is now the outside,there are a couple little tabs the need cut off or it will hit the gas tank,I used washers between the caliper and bracket just for adjustability,I had to modify the chaincase a little bit ,see pic,dont get crazy here just remove what you need,I had to use a longer brake line as I have raised bars but I think the stock line will be long enough,I made a few extra brackets and a to scale drawing just pm me with any questions.

awesome! i never thought of "rolling" the caliper around the back like that... seems obvious now
