Rear Caliper Recommendations, please
« on: August 22, 2020, 12:49:45 pm »
For you knowledgeable racer types... I have a Performance Machine caliper like this one. Do you think using it on a CB750 endurance racer rear (street riding) would be sufficient? I normally use the rear only to settle in the corners. The front brakes are twin stock calipers with drilled cast Iron rotors. Thanks!

RR I would have used it on the back or chair wheel of the sidecar, & with drilled disk (as pictured) should easily outperform the 'F'' setup.

Thanks, Tintop. I was going to hold out for an AP Racing caliper ($$$) but since I have the PM caliper, why not use it???
