Nice, I could hear it squealing from here  ;)
Them cheap pads you recommend

Nope...Trig has those cheap ones on all his 750's and they don't squeak. I have those expensive sintered ones back in my 400 and she is still squealing at slow speed, even though that front brake system has been fully overhauled and refurbed at least 10 times now...including having the disc slimmed. It was perfect for about 100 miles and then she started again. Good thing i don't use the brakes much 😲😲😲 Your bike looks great.

I'll put up with it a bit longer as they do seem to be bedding in.
If not they will be going  ;) ;D

Ride I more and stop polishing it  ;D ;D

Seeing Paul has missed your question Andrew. The tyres fitted are Conti RB2 front and K112 rear  ;)

Thanks Trig - are these considered the best tyres for the CB750?  :)

Tyres are always going to divide people. I hate Bridgestone on bikes and cars I'v just never felt confident with them. I have Conti's on my 550 and 750 rain or shine they have always been great. They also look right modern rubber just looks odd on an old bike.

Forgot to add your bike looks great Paul I must find the time to get mine out.
DSS pads take an age to bed in but once there bedded in they stop kind off.

Sorry Andrew the question did pass me by.
The Contis feel great but not really pushing anything as its still running in.
The pads are EBC so not a cheap brand just cheap price which Trigger found for me  ;D

You don't often see these, and I have always fancied one but not taken the plunge.
