CB twin disc front end

(1/3) > >>

BenLangton:
Have been told this is an unusual front end for the 78 cb550 its off.
I've searched the web trying to find what the front end is worth, wheels got a bit of surface rust to chrome but calipers, discs front legs, yokes, lever are all good.
All I found was conversion threads.

What's it worth going to sell it.

Wlcome to the forum Ben.

BenLangton:
Thanks,

I was thinking of using it on my project but wanted it to look older with a tls drum. I tried finding out about it but little info found.

A couple of mates said keep it, if I found out it is cool I may keep it but depends on what it is and worth. The project is costing a bit, you know how it goes.ha

It looks like someone has just fitted the second disc and caliper to a standard front end (the brackets were already fitted as stock by Honda) so it's not particularly valuable, except when some idiot pulls out in front of you and you have a decent chance of stopping. DON'T even think about TLS front end, why take a massive backward step with something as important as brakes? Insurance companies really wouldn't like it either! If you like TLS front ends, then buy a bike that was built with one. The original single disc was good in it's day, but the roads today are much busier, with far more numpties in cars to pull out on you/cut you up etc, be safe and stick with the twin discs, your life could depend on them! Welcome from Devon by the way!
