Could anyone tell me the width of a front wheel including brake plate please? I am thinking of using one in my new sprinter in a set of BSA Bantam forks. Secondly how good is the brake? The only need for the front end stopper is to lock the wheel during a static burnout to heat the rear, would the Honda brake hold fast?

thought so...
I need a 125 front wheel with a disk brake. Then again I could remove the cable actuation and use a hydraulic cylinder in a chicken chaser hub. It does not need to slow it , just hold it while I smoke the tyre.

to add more info, braking on my c90 (with properly adjusted drums) consisted of pulling the lever right back to the handlebar. this achived "normal" braking. e-stops were a no go. it should also be pointed out that trying to lock the front while applying power simply led to the front wheel skipping along the ground, although this could possibly be due to low weight / crappy leading link suspension design.

perhaps it could work with an extended lever arm and thicker grade cable to avoid stretching?
