CB750 / Single disc front brake help
« on: May 28, 2014, 01:06:52 PM »
I'm fairly new to CB ownership, I have a 1972 CB 750 with a single disc up front. The caliper has been rebuilt and everything seems to work as it should, caliper hinge pin moving freely, new brake fluid and no bleeding issues ( the bike has been restored ) but the stopping power is dangerously bad ! I appreciate it wont be up to modern standards but mine is too poor to leave it alone.
When pushing it around you can get the forks to bounce up and down with the front brake pulled, but riding it on the road it seems to take a long time to slow the bike, rear brake is excellent.
My question is : has anybody got a recommendation for the best disc pads to use ? Or any suggestions to make it better?

Another new member joining the group. I've no experience with forum's so please bear with me.
I've just put my money down on a 1972 CB 750 , in gold, from a Honda dealer in Manchester. Apart from the occasional dabble in "older " bikes I have little experience in the classic scene. In the early seventies I worked, after school, in a garage and the mechanic there had a '73 750 four that impressed me big time ! I've always liked these bikes since and saw the one I'm going to buy on Ebay on Friday night. Its had some restoration and appears, to me, to be be in excellent condition although not 100% accurate. I have millions of questions going around in my head, not least ..." what have you done !! " so I'm sure I'm going to be looking for help in the future.
