Rear disk brake on my lady

[bikebum1975]

Hey Guys
Wanted to know if it would be a hard thing to pull off toying with putting a rear disk brake on my lady. Any tips or ideas on how it can be done? I am going to be semi restoring the frame but looking to turn it into a bit of a long distance rider and grocery getter type bike. but lemme know what you guys think of the bike and the idea. Also thinking of putting a chopper type fork or a springer on the front and a smaller rim. Is it possible also to mount a disk brake to a springer fork?
Thanks Jim

A rear disc brake wouldn't be hard you would just need a new rear wheel, the caliper and you could either get a mount that bolts onto the dropout or make one and weld it on, I have seen bikes with discs on springers before.

Much appreciated forgot about those guys and I think I found what I need. Now just need some cash to get all the parts together.
