pacomotorstuff said:Hey if you guys keep pestering me, I'll go search in the store room for my XV920RH (chaindrive) rear wheel and offer up a YR1 backing plate to see if it works - your homework is to find out whether the shaft drive and chaindrive have the same rear brake shoes and advise me.
The YDS3 and variants, YR1/2/3 all used the same front brake. I'd have to check my RD200 brake but I think its a little narrower shoe but possibly the same dia. Not the RD125.
The R5 had a left side front brake backing plate, so using it on the right hand side would give you a double trailing shoe front brake, which would surely rate up there with other dumb inventions like seeing eye pitbulls, etc.
The YDS3 / YR's used a 17mm axle, so some machining required?
I also have a partially completed DLS rear brake conversion for one of my 350's, using a front brake panel. Some of these old bikes need all the brake they can get.
Neat project.

Then, take a look at this and see if it helps. http://www.eurospares.com/drumbrak.htm SLS brake shoes are different than DLS shoes even though they may have the same diameter. The ends of the so either pivot on a fixed point so are rounded or have a pivot hole or they are flat on the end that is spread by the brake cam. DLS shoes are flat on both ends.
MJPriceisright said:well, good news is my all balls conversion came in, should work fine. the bad news is, i was removing the rear wheel, bumped into the bike and it fell over.. cause im an idiot. dented the tank, cracked the clutch cover and bent one of the allen bolts, which thus also stripped the threads.. so now the allen bolt is removed, and all the oil drained from the bottom of the case cover.. sweeet. two steps forward, one step back. should have some time sunday to get the front forks and triples painted.
