Caliper to chain/sprocket clearance is the biggest hurdle. Getting full pad contact with the rotor is important to get the most from disc brakes. If you can do that and not have interference problems between the caliper and the chain, you're golden.

Good luck. How about sharing your install with some photos of the finished project?

Doing a couple things to my bike to get it ready for the races can't wait to see all you guy
The tiny old radiator wasn't cutting it so had to upgrade to a new two core radiator
Rear disk project coming soon
