Any of you guys with 87's ever change rear rotor?

[fperri302]

Cause im having trouble finding one... listings keep starting at 88.. from what i can see in pics the 88-04 rotor looks flat.. the one on my 87 seems to sweep back from where it mounts, almost like the caliper is mounted in a dif position..maybe i can change caliper mounting bracket to use 88+ rotor?? Thanks for any help..

To change the bracket you'd have to change the whole rear carrier and possibly swingarm, bracket is part of the carrier and i don't know if the newer and older carriers are interchangable on the different swingarms. Basically you would be trying to save $100 by spending $200, not really worth it.

Your right the one bracket is welded to carrier asbly.. got to thinking after looking at it closer i might be able to bolt a newer year rotor on and shim the caliper over enough to line up ..
