I don't know why you couldn't make it happen. In '99 they went to disc brakes up front on the big bear. If you could find someone parting out a '99 you might could snag up the hubs, rotors, calipers (even calipers from other yamahas will work), & knuckles .. that's the route I went with the disc brake conversion on my '97 Kodiak. I think I ended giving a lil over $100 for all of my parts.

Are you talking about fronts or rear?
If your talking about the front: You can do as DennyB said
If your talking about the rear: I have seen people buy or find the parts off of a wolverine and convert the rear to disc( I plan to do this in the future)
