I want to replace the disc brake on the back with stock 1952 Brakes on my '52. Does anyone know of a complete kit I can get to do this?
Thanks
Rocky

Re: Rear brakes on a '52
Paughco has the best aftermarket option, high quality stuff. The best shoes are cast iron, if Paughco's are stamped steel, OEM shoes are a nice upgrade later on.
They left the factory with black paint. Paughco offers both black and chrome, but if you're going back to stock, I think you'll want black. They also have all the linkage if you need it. All that stuff adds up, it will be a little expensive, but Paughco is as close to stock as you'll find. Avoid saving a few bucks on V-Twin. Also, check Dennis Corso for rods, linkage, etc.
Not sure if you can find a 'kit' for it, everything in one box, but between Paughco and Corso you can find it all. Doesn't hurt to check eBay, but used parts sometimes need minor repairs.

Re: Rear brakes on a '52
you will also need the star hub wheel .... most disk set-ups use the 70 s flange hubs .also does your frame still have the cross over tube ?
