Yeah, I'd assume that's why they went back. I'm still an engineering student so there are all kinds of free student versions out there. As for the lone wolf, your options are somewhat limited. Before I started university I used Sketchup a lot. You might be surprised at what you can get done...

Good call. I'll be sure to pick an MC carefully. Wouldn't want to go over the bars on the first try... I mocked up the Ninja caliper on the rotor and the clearance looks good. The bracket will be a bit tricky though.

It's stopped working for me last spring. Opened it up and found it was corroded and seized... Bummer The flexibility of a hydraulic system is pretty nice though. I would have made the switch anyway.

Modeled the bracket. Now to model the caliper, fork tubes and the general wheel shape.

Picked up a Ninja 250 brake on ebay for super cheap. Going to be working on a bracket to adapt it to my Cb125. I know that there has been some people throwing the idea around before, not sure if anyone had accomplished the job. I'll update my progress. Maybe I can trade one of my machinist...

How is the fender supported? It may be a matter of extending or shortening the bracket. As for safety, I have my fender sitting no more than a quarter inch off the tire and I haven't had any problems yet. Just watch for any sharp edges that might catch on the tire.
