thinking of putting twin disc,s on my 400/4 cafe racer does anyone no what frontend to use and what yokes to use???

Itsnot an easy job as the original sliders only have mounts on one side, easiest is probably a 400 superdream, but that gets you a comstar whell

but does the yokes fit 400/4 frame because the superdream forks are bigger so wont fit 400/4 yokes

I took the question as will it physically fit not will it fit with no tweeking? There is nothing i know of that just fits with out any fiddling

Don't remember thw 360 having twin discs, i think it was identical to the 250, and the forks were identical to the 400/4

Yup, but thats the problem as none of the UK models had that fitting. having said that the first 500 i twin disced i fitted two LH sliders and had one caliper in front and one behind then modified the mudguard mount. Worked fine even tho it looked odd

I used the front end from a CB500T for my twin disc setup on my CB550F, keeping the standard gatered forks for my Winter setup with a single disc.

But i've seen a pic...somewhere...of a set of 550 forks being used on a 400/4 with the 400 discs & caliper brackets installed so as to keep the front end not over braked

Found these tasty pics of a Bimota 400/4

Bryanj · « **Reply #11 on:** September 15, 2012, 12:00:53 PM »

Yup, but has the fittings on the other slider to fitthe second caliper

steven400/4 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15, 2012, 07:20:41 PM »

what so both calipers are on top and at the front???

Bryanj · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2012, 12:19:45 AM »

Yes BUT the forks are a bigger diameter so you need the yokes as well
