CB750F Forks with CB550 Wheel - Easy Caliper Choice?
« on: February 21, 2008, 09:13:10 AM »
Does anyone know if there is a caliper that will bolt straight onto this fork and line up with a CB750/4 disc on a CB550/4 wheel? Tall order, but you never know. Or failing that can anyone suggest a caliper that will nearly fit, ie. with a custom bracket.

Cheers in advance....

Er...not entirely sure what combo you have, but
I can tell you that a 750 caliper and caliper hanger
will bolt directly to a 500 fork leg. You must of course
also use the 750 rotor in that setup.

Ok, I got confused writing it, here's a picture:



I will put them on right way round next time.

Nothing, to my knowledge, will bolt straight on and work. You are gonna have to fabricate an adaptor plate
