I was thinking of doing a brake upgrade to mt Intruder. It has the old cable system.

SORRY BUT THERE NOT HYDRAULIC OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT BE LOOKING TO UPGRAGE,

Upgrading to hydraulic is not that difficult.  A little welding, some bolt hole drilling, a late Polaris hydraulic system and some heat applied oil bottle manipulation.

Kawasaki mono head motor has fairly good breaks.  After my install of a hydro system there was a situation.  Later learned the caliper was sticking and evaporated the brake fluid.  No brakes until they cooled back down then never a problem again.  Pro's and con's of the swap.

chachi, thanks for hyjacking my post, i didn't ask you to tell me how the stock brakes are, i want to up grade my stock brakes and at one time on the old section somebody made a bracket and mounted a polaris or cat brake on theres, thats the information i'm looking for, my interceptor will have more than 200 hp with a modern power plant and i want to make sure it stops.

Badcat,

I see you have no feelings keeping the stock look.  With a bunch of horses I would even figure out how to get the water cooled brakes put on there.  You could put in a Polaris chain case from a 97ish sled.  Double bonus you can run a 13 plate chain and gears.

On my sled I took and cut off the fixed side of the mechanical break caliper.  The hydraulic brake calipers do not need that much holding support.  Cutting the oil tank round bar support such that a one inch plate can get welded in the center or slightly steering column side.  Big note the oil tank still fits in its original position.  The plate is around five inches long and finish ties before the 'bend' around the corner of the oil tank. 

To get the oil tank to seat in the original position and not interfere with hood, heat was applied.  The new Polaris brake caliper when installed pushes the oil tank up about 1/2 inch.  Got a torch out and heated it up then pushed down on the oil tank to make it conform. 

Simple one hour project.  What motor are you putting in the compartment?  My latest work in progress is a Rotaris.  Polaris chassis, Doo motor and a Kawasaki cowl.  Looks like a Kawasaki, runs like a Doo (521 rotary looking for 670) and rides just like a Polaris IFS.  I refuse allegiance to any one brand since they do not pay me to race for them.

checkmarks would you have any pictures,also is the late model polaris a bolt in or is it a lot of work. i have 10 of the old style polaris chain cases, i'm keeping the sled stock looking on the outside but i have a 1000 efi twin cat motor with a 100 shot nos, i also have a 1200 efi twin but i'm thinking thats going in my 76 rupp magnum,

anything is possible, I have taken a Wildwood set up and bolted it right on with another bracket holding everything together. I have also welded on a holding bracket for the Wildwood brakes and them seem to hold up also, I don't like using the cable brakes even though it's a factory set up, juice brakes seems safer to me anyways, I also race the sleds. Another way to bolt on your juice brakes would be off your drive shaft and I know this can be done also
