First question of many: Wheels & Brakes

<< < (3/4) > >>

UK Pete:
Put Kyoto organic pads in the rear, they are f--ing useless in the front but i have found them suited to the rear as they dont bite as much

Thanks for the tip. Ill also learn not to be so heavy footef

K2-K6:
I like your explanation Pete, that made me laugh.

I guess I hadn't considered it from the point of using a lot more back brake as you tend to on a cruiser at a different pace generally alex.

These 70's bikes had some of the earliest rear discs and they did seem to make them far too big for the intended use so the rear is easy to lock on most of this era.

To elaborate more about the front for you, this F2 is also at the start of the fitment of "not bad at all" twin discs and properley working should cause you no real probs, they are reasonably progressive too so are fairly quick to feel more comfortable with.

alexjb666:
Loving all the help you all provide and cant thank you enough.
Pictures of the 750 etc. are in my introduction thread.

alexjb666:
You have all been a great help so far but I was wondering if anyone had any input on another point, the wheels. The comstars are very iconic but I am wondering if anyone has any other recommendations and also any experience with what the widest wheel/tire is that will fit a super sport with little modification. I am guessing the caliper brace would need moving/changing and I would probably need offset sprockets.

I blame riding cruisers, I feel safer with more rubber.
