Smaller disc alternative spoke wheels CB750 project ideas

[Rozabikes Tim]

Just plotting ideas for proposed cafe racer, so will log it.  Front brakes look non stock? What did you do?

Discs are from a CB900FD, forks are from a CBX1000Z, front wheel is the 19" CMA wheel that I had before the 2.75"x18" CMA wheel that I had on the bike when it was in the accident. The pad retaining clip is a length of stainlees dowel bent into a 'U' shape which made it easier to remove when servicing the pads etc.

I have found another photo with a clearer view of the modified rear disc...

Yes thanks for the direction but seen this and don't really want twin discs as like the idea of the simple original single look. Have read on US site re EBC rotor as straight bolt on. Anyone done this? Still fancy the idea of modern caliper too!

The rear disc is the real issue as it looks clumsy to me on F1 / F2. My CB900 had similar set up too.

If you like the simple original look why not go back to a hub break like on the early f's and k's. Those alloy rear hubs look great polished up and you don't need megga powerful rear breaks anyway. Also you get rid of the break disc and the clutter of the reservoir.

Actually it's what I am doing for my F2 Cafe, I have a K wheel, hub with tyre on it's way.

The Rear disk and all parts that make up the rear brake on  the F2 are so heavy, I cant believe they made such a large overkill heavy set up, Yoshi had the right idea with his rear disk conversion.
on my cafe project i am not sure whether to do the same as yoshi did on the rear or just use the standard set up
