Conversion to double disc for CR Build
« on: June 28, 2013, 02:09:32 pm »
Hi, could anyone help me by telling me what fittings I should get for the second brake disc I need for the CR build. I have both discs and the original caliper. Are the calipers and fitment bar  interchangeable or do I need to get a different type. My donor bike was a 1976 CB750 F1, it was fitted with the standard caliper,regards Kenny

F0, K7 and K8 are the same if I remember correctly. Center bleeder.

You can use a factory brake hose and tube, the hard tube will need to be rebent into a right hand shape. A double banjo bolt can handle the connection at the brake light switch.  I used the stock M/C.  It has the same pressure, just more travel. Mine stops great.
