Smaller disc alternative spoke wheels CB750 project ideas
« on: December 12, 2009, 02:03:15 PM »
Thinking about ideas for 750 SOHC cafe racer I want to build.

I like the idea of subtle modifications and I am thinking of larger single disc / modern caliper at front. Also although F1 / F2 have rear disc, it is big and clumsy in my mind and fancy a "token small disc" at rear / modern caliper.

Has anybody had experience of fitting more modern, later hubs from something like an Africa twin trail bike and lacing them to relevant rim to suit the 750? I am thinking this would give more scope for alternative discs? I appreciate there would then be the normal problems of calipers mounting /  lining up discs, which could be a bit easier with opposed pistons in newer caliper?

Or am I  living in a dream world / talking crap!

Any ideas appreciated.

Find a machinist buddy.. you can adapt all kinds of stuff to early Hondas, but it may cost..
