Disk brakes, of course, with hydraulic actuators. I'm told they were taken from a Suzuki Katana. This being said, it's no rocket science to adapt almost any motorcycle disk brake to an aircraft wheel! It just takes a couple of brackets

Disc? Drum? Any idea what motor cycle they are from? Hydraulic I assume. Darren Pond I have a better setup: motorcycle brakes, mounted the "cheapie" option (brake handles clamped fore of the main spar), and I have more than enough braking power, even if the KR weights twice as much as a loaded motorcycle!
