There are a couple of options for you.  RDI (see "Links") makes/distributes an adapter (called a Hammerhead) that will work on the rear swingarm.  If you have the Noleen Chubby LT (long travel) fork, then you may or may not be able to get a special adapter for it.  RST actually made that fork.  Although it has tabs for disk brakes, I have yet to find a good adapter available for RST forks.

Option 2 is to make your own adapters.  This is not a very difficult project.  I thought you could find instructions in the How Tos page, but apparently those instructions aren't there.  My bookmark to the instruction page does not seem to work.  Does anyone have a current link?
