The caliper I used is from a Suzuki SV650.

If you are interested in this you should print a copy.......when Tinypic stops working my posts are going to become meaningless.

Suzuki used those wheels from the late 70's thru the mid 80's, both tubeless and tube type, in 1.85 & 2.15 widths. 450's up to 1000's. The best one to find is a 19 x 2.15 tubeless and 1 or 2 rotors with it.
If you use a rotor (disc) that is vented you should switch to the dual piston caliper from a SZ650. (best option, but you will need to make a bracket ) If you want to use the stock caliper and not make a bracket, you will need to have a solid rotor turned down by a shop ($$) and end up with the same weak brake as you started with.
The bracket is not too hard to make (see my post above) and the results are well worth it.

Guys, I bought the rear wheel and new bearings. What is the trick to get the old bearings out without cracking the casting?
 Cheers!
