550 Twin Disk Setup - seen one like this?
« on: January 31, 2006, 06:40:07 AM »
This is on eBay (UK) right now.

No big deal really with the twin disk but look at the angle of those calipers!   Custom bracketry?

went out to the garage with the pics, looks like 1979 DOHC cb750 supersport front forks. Could be any nuber of hondas though including the cm400 or any of the hawk bikes.
