I'm trying to find P5 legal disc brake wheels preferably 2.15 wide that will accommodate a twin piston front caliper.
Does anyone know what I can use?

It's for my KX125 based road racer.
But I don't think it matters - hopefully we'll be able to space disc or caliper to suit.

At the moment it seems like we are stuck with replicas or original RG500 race bike floaters. But as from 2011 when the Rules may change there may be others as well. As long as they were manufactured before Dec '82. I haven't done any research, yet. Let us know what you find.

Discs, almost as dumb as carbies. The current set of copies of the famed rg500 floaters must not be confused with the crop from the much later road going brother of the XR series (I think, help Keith if you are reading this) of gp suzuki racers that sported these disc brakes. The later versions were also named RG500 but were nothing like the older versions and the discs were different.

As for the copies, the ones Rex uses are manufactured by Manta Enterprises You must be logged in to see this link. He does some very nice stuff but at a price few but the truly serious can afford.

I think by 2011 we will be able to use any discs.

Amen to that ! And while "They" are at it, why not open P3 up to Any Drum ?

Too simple!
I wrote a submission a year or so back supporting the request that had already been submitted. We got knocked back.
If we try collectively we might get somewhere so maybe we need to start a petition.
