Rear brake caliper Scrambler

Am fairly concerned with the position of the rear brake caliper on the Scrambler. In tough ruts in the bush there is a high possibility of busting it off on rocks etc.
Have recently noticed the Triumph America caliper looks the same but mounted on top.Would be a big improvment on factory design if this works.
Has anyone tried it?
Cheers Rod

Anyone interested,the price for the bracket in Aust dollars is $205.
Looks like it will be an easy conversion,will post back when done.
Sorry I dont have a digicam.

I'll be interested in the result. Make using a paddock stand easier too.

Thanks for the bike bandit link,but by the time I pay exchange and freight to Aust. the price works out the same,and I have to wait for 2 weeks. I can get it overnight here in Bendigo.
Will order at the end of week and let you guys know how it goes. I tend to think that it is a major off road safety mod, I would hate to loose my rear brake into a ride and know I still had lots of gravelley loose downhills to contend with on only a front brake.
Cheers Rod
