Double Disk Brake Spoked Wheel

Double Disk Brake Spoked Wheel

Nathan is particularly excited about this Because BMW said it couldn’t be done. A double disk Brake Front end on a spoked wheel. In the past besides a few very late airhead models putting double disk brakes on a spoked wheel was not possible. A choice had to be made between a mag wheel for double disk brakes or a spoked wheel with a single caliper. On a recent R80ST Cafe build Nathan and Chuck installed two Brembo two piston calipers on stock R80ST calipers with a spoked wheel. This will be an ongoing discovery as we explore more models and sliders that we can use this same technique on.
