Twin disc set up.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bryanj:
The black square one is wrong in parts, especially about the speedo drive. I know there is one i put up with pics of how to do speedo drive.

I have the file i wrote as a pdf but cant seem to attach it. If you want a copy email me your email to the address in my profile and i will send it

Would this master cylinder be a good replacement for twin discs, do you think?

Should be fine and work well. It's largely preference as to what you use in the feel you're after.

These standard dimension mc will have increased travel but with less hand pressure needed to give braking when used with a twin setup. It'll feel more like a modern brake regarding the power it can give you in use.

The larger reservoir type (goldwing) has increased fluid capacity to get from one service interval to the next with the pad wear a goldwing would give. Largely in motorcycle systems now they don't do that with straight capacity, just more frequent checking of fluid level, usually with a clear pot to make it easy.

You will find that the std master cylinder works perfectly OK on a twin disc set-up.

That is what I have done when I did the twin disc set up for my CB750K2 and it works fine.

So if you have a good std one it might be worth using that first before replacing it?

You might find this link useful, though it is for the early K series some of the basic detail in what is required is similar.
