I used 89 Toyota pu rotors and calipers . I made spacers for wheel bearings inter and outer.Measured seal sizes and ordered seal to fit Toyota hub and willys spindle. the steering arms stayed the same . I assembled rotor on spindle and applied pressure to caliper to hold caliper on rotor straight measured the offset made bracket and spacers that mounted off the back two holes on spindle. this took some time to get it right . its been about three years ago .I don't remember everything that I did. the bolts that held the steering arms on need to be turned around to clear the rotor . also some clearance problem on turning radius .cant remember what i did. the Toyota pu has the same bolt pattern 4 1/2 5 lug the same as the jeepster also the stock wheels will clear the caliper . I also had to turn down the out side of hub to fit the inside of the wheel . I used the stock master cyl. I took the check valve in the master cyl out . residual check valves in front and rear brake lines need to be installed . I have app.40 hrs. in this project. it works great power brakes were not needed. I made the spacers for wheel bearings out of chrome molly tubing . this project is not for the faint of heart . hope this helps . measure measure measure and check everything over and over my first caliper bracket was a failure . this should get you started .

Why don't brake lights brighten on 2008 gold wing when brake lever on handlebar is engaged?

Motorcycle Front Brakes versus Brake LightsI'm not familiar with your bike as I'm into "old" [1950 and prior years] Indian and Harley machines.On those older machines, only the REAR brake pedal was fitted with a brake light switch, and the FRONT brake [on the handlebar] did not have a brake light switch.I suspect that is why you have no brake light operation IF using ONLY the front brake.If you're handy with tools, and with a little imagination, you should be able to successfully install a brake light switch into the front brake system.
