Mike, I've got a proper caliper now, eBay find. It's a proper cb500 one. What is the correct disc thickness for the disc? Thanks.
mike the bike:
It should be in the manual
Spanner1972:
Doesn't t give a thickness or diameter. Looked on the tinternet and various different answer to be found.
deltarider:
I seem to remember 7mm but I don't know from what, so...
matthewmosse:
7mm sounds about right, cb500 and 550 had comparatively massivly thick disks. Is the piston right back in the caliper? Have you got the right pads and mount? I often help the pad back into the caliper body by squashing it back into the caliper with a G clamp, protecting the caliper from dammage with a few bits of wood.
