1972 CB500K1: Goldie - First Ride
SteveD CB500K0:
My wife took the photo(s) of me on the 500. This was the best one...
A semi-pro friend of mine took the Tiger pic in the carpark at Broadway Tower.
Sorry about the lack of clues - I guess I was still fretting about the poor front brake (God knows how it got through the MOT...)
The front guard is indeed mounted between the caliper bracket and the fork leg. The caliper does not offer up to the disc in parallel.
That's a job for the weekend then!
Of all the 500/550s that I've owned over the years (this is the 7th), I don't have a picture of that area in any of my archive folders. Thus the question.
Johnwebley:
while your refitting the front mudguard ,check how the disc pads are touching on the disc,it maybe they just need bedding in,from
personal experience the static (inner) pad sits on "bump" so is almost self adjusting,but the sliding caliper pad may only be touching
on a small area,until it aligns
BTW,David Silver cheepo pads seem to work and fit ok,
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last lot had to grind them down to fit
Cheers

I have DSS pads in my bike they fitted straight in if anything a little slack.
they seem to wear quite fast but work well when bedded in even better now Iv deglazed them.
