I found a used caliper mount on eBay last night for $11 shipped so I can have an extra to play with. I also found a 09 cush drive hub for $23 shipped, 09 cush rubber for $9 shipped, and a 09 rear rotor for $43 shipped. I'm negotiating a deal now to hopefully get a 150 rim for $99 plus shipping. Still need a sprocket too so I need to determine my desired gearing and then order one of them. I will also be on the look out for some 150/60-17 tire deals from Bridgestone's (also would consider others) but I have a few thousand miles left on my current IRC tire so I have some time to get this all together. I also found a guy that works with me that has his own machine shop at home. I hoping me and him can work out something to keep my cost down.
