cb 750 sohc/4 dual front brake
« on: August 18, 2017, 04:38:47 PM »
Did Honda make a spoke wheel dual disc brake front end for any of their CB 750 SOHC and if so what year(s). Looking to build a semi replica CR750 road racer. Making the transition from Nortons and Triumphs to Hondas although had a '74 Rickman 750 and a K1 along the way.
Thanks

A second rotor and caliper can be added to any of the 750 spoke front wheels.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

And, no, Honda did not.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

True, with caveats.
However if you can find a K0 (and maybe K1) wheel/hub it's practically plug & play.
