Rear disc conversion
taysidedragon:
I know this is jumping the gun a bit Allan, but when you've finished the rear brake are you going to do an upgrade on the front brake?
I've toyed with the idea of machining a new front brake arm, doing away with the pivot so that the arm is fixed directly to the fork leg mountings, then using a suitable caliper with sliding pins. Maybe a floating disc as well, if available. Braking should be stronger and it would get rid of the pesky squeal! 🙂

Allan's bike has already got twin front discs.

Yeah, I forgot that. I might try it myself, but I'll probably need some help. 🙂

As Ted said twin upgrade done already with forks, calipers and discs from a cb400n as the calipers are the sliding type (plus a few other changes to fit the required speedo drive)
Big difference
Best wishes Al
