CB650 "Parts Bin Special"
pae:
Hi Andy, I have put a master cylinder that looks very similar (think mine came off a CB750F?) and it doesn't pump enough fluid to work with dual discs. At the moment I've taken one disc/caliper off and it's OK but could never get enough pressure with twin discs.
Haven't ridden it like that but I'm working on the assumption that the 750 it came off was single disc so single on the 650 will be OK, but obviously I'd rather find a 650 m/cyl and put it back to twin disc set-up.
I've bought a few hoses off this guy - good quality and service. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/thracing09. He deals in Venhill hoses and fittings.

Cheers Phil. I like the price of those hoses - & they are all stainless fittings too.
nb - There's an article in Back Street Heroes this month (page 56 or thereabouts) about brakes / master cylinders & braking forces which I really should read more closely. Apparently there is some science behind it all! & it may help me understand the best way & best m/cyl vs caliper set-up which will work. May be worth a look if you are still wrestling with your set-up.

You'll like them, excellent quality and service every time, more than happy to recommend him (no association, just a happy customer)

Yes, I remember vaguely from building off-road buggies and playing around with the size of master and wheel cylinders to adjust braking force and set the bias more towards the rear brakes, but can't recall it exactly off the top of my head (I'm going back 25 years now, crikey, had forgotten how long ago it was!).
