So I bought this Dyno from a guy on C.L. for $140.00 in ok shape but with a crap hammer tone paint job. I knew I wanted to tear it down and paint it but I needed to do few things before I did that. This is how I bought it...

First thing...I hate coaster brakes. So I started digging around the net and finally found the pieces to throw a disk brake setup on it. 180mm rotor, Avid BB7 caliper and lever, rotor flanged freewheel hub from Choppers US and a 22t free wheel. Had it laced and it's good to go. I made the braket and had a buddy TIG weld it and it works perfect. I realize the caliper is non adjustable but I can get it the chain adjusted and still keep the pads on the rotor. I ran the cable through the small tube on the frame so it's nice and clean.

Just pulled it apart to send out to the sand blaster and forks to the chrome shop.

After I get it back from the blaster it's going to my buddies shop for a base/clear silver with some old school red and black pins. Should be a cool little cruiser when it's done. More Pics to come.
 
BB7 IS adjustable,BB5 isn't. Bet ya have a 5,not a 7. I looked into them hard, before buying the BB7 setup. I think it cost less than 20 more than a 5. Its coming in Friday, I'll have front brakes on my Sun fatty
 
You didn't look hard enough.....lol. BB5 adjust on one side and BB7 is on both. I can adjust on both sides. Thanks for the tip though.

Been lagging. I just got the frame and rack back from my buddy. Its a BMW silver base coat/clear coat he had left over from a job. The fenders and chain guard are out at the pin striper and then back to paint for the final clear on those parts. Also got the forks back from the chrome shop and they turned out killer. I'll start putting it together soon but I'm in escrow on a new house so not a lot of time these days.
