Thanks gents. Mike, not sure yet. Weighing up pros and cons to be honest. Ordered and received lots of parts, just waiting for more and then full on into it. Having trouble finding a petrol tank that fits/looks good on the bike. As some of you know it's a bobber hardtail with a radiused top yube. Nothing fits right, they can be made to fit but they don't look right then. Hunting and surfing the big wide world web for something that fits and looks good. Any info on the disc gents would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks.

Spanner1972:
Gents, any info on the front disc sizes. I'm surfing the net and getting different answers of it. There's nothing about sizes in the Haynes manual I can find. Thanks.

Bryanj:
750 and 500 discs have the same centresd, I seem to remember the minimum thickness being on the alloy centre and without going to measur one the 750 is a bigger diameter than the 500

matthewmosse:
What do you need to know about front disk? I can pop out to the shed with a tape measure if required. I am pretty sure the cb500 and cb550 disk are the same, but 400 and, 650 and ones 750 are not.

Spanner1972:
The disc is 6mm in thickness and 11" diameter. It looks to be the correct size, not sure about the thickness though. The caliber won't go any where near it when I try to put it over the disc. Thanks.
