Re: Morris Mag Wheels
I have ridden my current 84 R80RT for forty years with a drum brake as I did my shot lived R90S. The drum works fine or at least it did for me.
On the other hand, I had a 78 R100RS with the factory disc brake set up and frankly it was a pain in the ass. Pads wore out fast, (I went almost 190,000 miles on drum shoes), It was prone to being very fussy about the condition of fluid and boy changing fluid can be a pain. The caliper cannot be bled mounted but has to be removed and inverted due to the design catching air bubbles.
The rear disc set up tends to get a lot of crap thrown on it when ridden in rain and dirt so conversely pads wear out twice as fast at the front pads.
LOL, finally, the performance was just not that much better than what I get with the rear drum at least not enough to ever make me want to convert to a disc from drum. As a side, the latter airheads did go back to drums.
As a final note, I do believe the parts from a /7 disc set up will work on a R90S, I have never tried it but the swing arms/final drive for the 78, 79 bikes are not that much different then the R90S bikes. Good luck, St.
