    Hi Marty I want to convert my 79 250OR to the WR style brake stay. Non floating. What rear brake plate do I need to look for and do I need another wheel also?
    Thanks

    Hi Marc,

    Yes you will need another rear wheel to accept the WR style brake plate. You can use the WR brake plate from 1980-82 wr's , same for the wheel. Your OR swing arm is longer than the WR so you will want to change it also, plus the wr swing has the mounting bracket for the wr rear brake stay. And then you will need to change the rear shocks to 15 1/2" long one measure from the centers of the eyes.
    If your intentions are just changing to a non floating brake then you will only need the brake plate and wheel. and then fabricate your own bracket to mount the WR brake stay.
    I am sure I have what you need if you want to PM me.
