CB750 / First question of many: Wheels & Brakes
« on: February 03, 2012, 06:39:10 PM »
Hello people.
As will become clear very quickly I'm not all that experienced mechanically but willing to.give things a try with a little advice.
I am doing up my 78 750 F2 Super Sport to a modern blended cafe racer. After riding the bike for a little while I have decided I would really appreciate the ability to stop in a timely manner.
I'm looking to replace wheels, discs and calipers.
Wheels: I was wondering if anyone knew what the widest wheels (front and back) can be put on the SS without too much modification (and maybe some advice where modification will be needed).
Calipers: I have seen that the brakes from a CB900 fit the 750 but was wondering if they make much difference compared to stock?
Discs: I definitely feel the discs need to be modernised. Has anyone tried any specific discs that they found worked well?
Sorry for all the questions but who better to ask than the enthusiasts?
Thanks,
Alex
