I know what you mean about the drum brakes , I hunted ebay for over 3 months to find the parts to piece them together , then recently I found a listing for the complete set , snagged it up for 170.00 including shipping . I priced out the parts from yamaha , and my heart almost stopped .

305 gave ya the first post about the spindles , and heres what i finally ended up with..................

they work "freakin awsome" <<< hahaha i cant stop sayin that!!!!!
i can still hang on to steer and use just one finger to pull the brake lever

 

[ROCKSTAR]

awks way is a great way to do it. (dont remember exactly what he has) another good way is to buy ext arms that dont use the pinchbolt and use the (a arm) shee spindles. you can also use the shee rear brake setup too....which is good becasue the a arm shees use teh same caliper and brake pads for front and rear.....

 

[ROCKSTAR]

burgard uses teh non pinchbolt style ball joints.

nice thing about those norman420 spindles is they are direct bolt on, and you arent limited to different a arms when buying extended arms, if thats what you so choose....

good write up awk. had to review your setup...norman420 does do very nice work....

 

[TopTechKid27]

you can do it like rockstar said or you can get a set of non pinch bolt a arms and a front set up off a shee and just ream out and drill and tap 2 holes for set screws in the upper ball joint mount. thats what i did it worked great, it all comes down to what you want to do and how much work you want to put in to it.

[YamaZuki]

they go for crazy money for a complete bolt on setup on ebay.I prefer my drums,i took my setup off media blasted and painted them,goin to put them on ebay to fund my total rebuild.Unless someone wanted to buy them for what i am asking.

Please do! I am still running drums.
Any advantages for forward or width movement? Shocks? Travel?

as far as I know, this is still the most economical "direct bolt on" swap, i did both my blasters for under $200 each............

Just buy the conversion spindles from KOR and bolt on Warrior or Banshee front brakes. I have the conversion spindles on mine and love them.
