Topic: Making a brake stay arm

[cwchan]

Hey all,

I'm putting a 150 rear tire and it doesn't clear the brake stay arm.  I am looking at making something like this:

i'd bend my stay arm except that my stock brake stay are is the round type.  I'm thinking of just using some flat steel bar stock from home depot.

Any suggestions/recommendations/warnings?

Here's a cheap one on Ebay, probably cheaper to just bend this than make your own if you have to buy material:http://www.ebay.com/itm/69-78-Honda-CB350-750-Rear-Brake-Hub-Stabilizer-Bar-W-Mount-Bolt-43431-286-010-/111068291633?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19dc2fa231&vxp=mtr

Have you tried to just dent it in where the tire will be with a large ball-peen hammer for clearance?
I have done just that, with success, on a couple of my bikes that have the round tube-type brake stay.

Just shim it outwards, and maybe make a pair of new shoulder bolts.. Hey new kit idea..

I've personally done the hammer massage, but will likely end up making an aluminum unit down the road. I have 6 plus yrs on the hammered to clear one with zero issues. It'll get you going untill you make one nicer.
