Redesigning a rear motorcycle hub.
Redesigning a rear motorcycle hub.
(OP)
Hey everyone,
I currently have this motorcycle with a rear drum brake. I am hoping to do redesign the hub to accommodate a rear disc brake with the calipers mounted on the swingarm. Does anyone have and comments or suggestions as to where to start? Thanks.

Try the motorcycle surplus market, scrapyard or, even Craig's List. It's not rocket science to re lace a wheel to a new hub, BUT WHY?

Right now I'm cadding up the hub and I'm having trouble determining the placement of the spoke holes. Here's a picture explaining my problem.
I'm currently using Solidworks to model the hub, but I have a very vague idea of how to do them. Notice that the holes are angled.
