Hummm... Quite the predicament your in?
Looks like some Canti Brakes with some Wide/Fat Braces? Drum Brake set-ups? might as well go discs really, even if you find some V-Brakes long enough they might snap like twigs or Bend/Flex.

I sure someone has done it, or makes some? someone else will chime-in soon I'm sure

I think cantilevers are your most likely bet. Setup will probably be tedious.
Even road bikes have discs now. I was a skeptic, but after using them, I can understand why. Of course, they're not cheap to retrofit, especially in the front, though I don't know if I'd trust the adapters on the rear of a motorized bike, either. I'm kind of in the same predicament for an electric bike conversion I'm planning, though I don't have to clear wide tires, so I'm probably going to swap my cantis with Vs.

Didn't some of the OCC choppers have a rim brake on the rear 4" tire? I know i have seen those brakes somewhere.
