Im just passing this along.
I have several sets of KTM wheels and wanted to run the rears on the new 03 mc250
I took a spare KTM brembo caliper and mounting bracket with KTM brake hose .
The Hose fits right on the master cylinder of the Gasser.
I milled 2 mm off the outboard side of the mounting bracket where it meets the swingarm.
The mounting stub for the caliper braket needs to be cut off on the end just to the inside of the tab that sticks up ( to give the needed extra room for the rotor) and then cut into the swingarm side 2 mm into the boss making a downward cut to meet the inward cut. The whole idea is to allow the bracket to move further outward to allow for the wider KTM hub.
Dress everything with a dremel .
The KTM wheel fits right on with the Gasser axle.
The whole process took about 45 minutes with no binding or weekening of anything .
 
I used the brembo because I had a spare complete set up from a Katoom plus changing pads is much faster . I didnt want to change the nissan in case I want to put a stock Gasser wheel on again when I sell the bike.The brembo also has a more progressive feel where as the nissan is grabby .
