Rear disc conversion

<< < (28/29) > >>

Oddjob:
As they say in Yorkshire, that'll do.

Have you tested it yet?

Hi Oddjob

Not yet as meant to still resting my back with no heavy lifting yet but spinning the wheel by hand system works as planned and linkage connecting for rear sets has been designed so I can adjust the “lever ratio” if I need to adjust  the feel once I am out and about

Best wishes Al

Hi all

Just a quick update

Finally took the old girl out tonight for a thrash after some issue getting her going after the winter layup

It just refused to start and kept on flooding :wetting the plugs, and even a carb clean did not sort it, and it only got it running when I fitted four new plugs? And still not running quite as nice as end of last year?

Rear disc works well but the real change is the handling and general ride after the suspension work.

Front and rear ends feel confident and almost inspiring with a firmer front forks  (But now fitted with internally with RaceTec gold emulators, modified damper rods and adjustable preload top caps) and a more compliant back end thanks to the YSS piggyback units and the actual ride  over bumps and undulations in the road surface is fantastic. As for speed humps that are everywhere in Swindon before if you hit a speed hump you knew about it, but now the bike reacts (both front and rear) so different as if the road was almost flat and at higher speed again the ride is so much better

Yes not a cheap upgrade but for me worth the cost and oh it looks so cool including the new front KH 250 mudguard that suits the 18” wheel much better than the original cb400n one I had originally fitted that was for really for a 19” wheel, and I was never 100% happy on how it looked (as it had too much gap between the tyre and mudguard)




Catch again soon and ride safe Al
