ok i have a 2003 monster-t ,but i can't find anyone who makes a mount to run my old style XT brakes on it? marazoki told me a company called gravity racing made one but they never answer the phone ,and i can't find a web site? and i'am a broke as hell and can't afford to buy new hydralic disc brakes (well i can but i won't be able to eat for about 2 weeks) ,if you have any knolege on where to find the bracket let me know (we already tried every shimano bracket made!)

any bike shop that has BTI or QBP catalogs should be able to order you an adapter to make the xt's into 8in.

Do you mean Gravity Racing Components?

I know they made some brake adapters. There website needs an update but John is a good guy and will answer emails.

He checks this board sometimes too.

As far as im aware xt's or hopes will not fit on 03-05 monsters.

I am 90% sure that the mounting for the 03-05 monsters is an 8 inch hayes mount meaning the brake bolts straight to the fork. I don't think anybody makes an adaptor to fit an IS brakes to a 03 monster.

If you get yourself a pre 03 monster (02 and earlier) the mount is IS an will work, i have xt's on a 02 monster on my bike and the setup works well.

Your only option is to get a new fork, or get a new brake. Your cheapest option is going to be buying a single saint or new xt type caliper with the hayes style mounting for the front. You can reuse your brake lever, rotor and brake lines. Should be about $100.
