Smaller disc alternative spoke wheels CB750 project ideas
Rozabikes Tim:
Thinking about ideas for 750 SOHC cafe racer I want to build.
I like the idea of subtle modifications and I am thinking of larger single disc / modern caliper at front. Also although F1 / F2 have rear disc, it is big and clumsy in my mind and fancy a "token small disc" at rear / modern caliper.
Has anybody had experience of fitting more modern, later hubs from something like an Africa twin trail bike and lacing them to relevant rim to suit the 750? I am thinking this would give more scope for alternative discs? I appreciate there would then be the normal problems of calipers mounting / lining up discs, which could be a bit easier with opposed pistons in newer caliper?
Seamus:
Usual thing is to fit a GL1000 front end onto the 750. Fitting modern disc systems is difficult with the fork leg design.
Have a look at the us site http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=62595.0
This will ge you started, lots of reading.
Cheers
Seamus
Rozabikes Tim:
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.
Seamus:
I have been looking at the EBC option, but I can't find a reference for the rotor to see if it is available in the UK.
Not really looked at the rear disc.
Have a look round this site http://www.stotfoldengineers.co.uk/Stotfold_Engineering_blog/2009/09/
Has some info on brakes
