Start with a Kelsey Hayes caliper off an older Polaris sled. It will bolt directly to your chaincase...all you need is a spacer to get the correct offset. Then use a master cylinder of your choice with the correct length brake line.
If you find the parts at a swap meet, maybe $20-30 for everything you need.
Ill be doing this again to my current sled project & can post some pictures eventually.

Awesome info, Thanks guys.
Would you happen to know the years that Polaris used that brake caliper?
I love riding my Cyclones but they need Hydraulic brakes

Not sure on the years.... It's late 80s. Maybe early 90s
