I,m building a trike with a reliant back axle. The brake drums appear a bit on small side, has any one fitted larger than standard reliant drums or discs if so what were the results,and what was used. The bike that trike is based on is a 750 nevada moto guzzi.

if i remember rightly there was a feature in the mag which showed how to convert the drum brakes to disc

Iuse reliant rear brakes quite often and are very good the only mod i do is to use a single delivery master cylinder from demon tweeks at a cost of 34 quid it is a small cylinder and can use the bike remote reservourwith a small bit of modding i also have used this system on a disc brake system and it will lock the back up at any speed if required
