I'm wondering if anyone out there has heard of or seen someone do the "Lenac" front brake conversion on the Bros. I know that the rim, rotor, caliper and left lower is different on the Hawk and was wondering if anyone knows if the left lower on the Bros is similar to anything else out there. I'm trying to find a ready made bracket instead of going throught the hassle of making one myself. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I'm sure Steve could accomodate. And yeah, that's his correct addy.1988 "BlackHawk" project

I'd be happy to measure anything on mine (hawk lower w/ lenac's bbk- big brake kit) I'd try to cross referance bros/hawk part numbers and see if the fork slider for both are the same, then as long as the rotors matched up, they should work
As a free plug for Steve's kit, it totaly changed the feel, and inspired loads of confidence in my ability to stop from any speed. with the right pads, two finger braking is easy and gives loads of feedback. I prefer the 'feel' of my front end over many dual rotor set ups I've ridden.Mike/Kilter

Steve's bracket won't help because the Bros fork lower is different.I'm going to assume that the Bros caliper is the same as other models in the range so you might have to work from there. I wonder if the left leg is the same as the Deauville's- then you could go get yourself a suave Brembo caliper

Yeah the lower is different. Although a while back I bought a Hawk lower and was going to buy the rest of the stuff (wheel) but I figured it would be easier to start from my end instead of turning the front end into a hawk and then to something else.Originally Posted by joelSteve's bracket won't help because the Bros fork lower is different.I'm going to assume that the Bros caliper is the same as other models in the range so you might have to work from there.

I don't have access to the Deauvilles info but the Brembo thing sounds awesome. More info please!!
