Yes, it is possible to install a rear disc brake on a Royal Enfield Classic 500 Desert Storm 2016 model. However, please note that modifying the braking system of a motorcycle should be done carefully and preferably by a professional or an authorized service center.
To install a rear disc brake, you will typically need the following components:
Rear Disc Brake Caliper: This is the part that houses the brake pads and clamps onto the disc rotor to create the braking force.
Disc Rotor: The disc rotor is the round metal plate that the brake caliper clamps onto. It is mounted on the rear wheel hub.
Brake Master Cylinder: The brake master cylinder is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure when you squeeze the brake lever. It is usually mounted on the handlebars.
Brake Line: A new brake line will be required to connect the brake master cylinder to the rear brake caliper.
Mounting Bracket: In some cases, a mounting bracket may be necessary to attach the brake caliper to the swingarm or the designated mounting point on the motorcycle frame.
When considering this modification, it's important to ensure that the parts you select are compatible with your motorcycle's specific model and year. It is highly recommended to consult with an authorized Royal Enfield service center or a professional motorcycle mechanic who has experience with such modifications. They will be able to guide you through the process, source the appropriate components, and ensure that the installation is done correctly and safely. Additionally, keep in mind that modifying your motorcycle may affect its warranty, so it's essential to consider that aspect as well.
