Topic: CB400f Rear Disc

[brandon]

Hey Industrial, I'm not here to step on toes. I'm only curious and learn through asking. I think the 6 o' clock caliper looks good too, but my needs are different than yours and that's part of what our bikes different from one-another. If I came across as being pesky, I'll tell you those were not my intentions

Now back to converting to rear disc!

[Industrial Cafe]

you're not stepping on any toes, I'm just messing with you.
I always forget that text doesn't transfer sarcasm.


EDIT: I should put this in when I do that-

I just read a few articles on the braking setup of F1 cars vs passenger cars.

the reason they put the calipers on the bottom of F1 cars is heat dissipation (heat goes up) and the center of gravity, because everything on those cars has to have the lowest possible COG.

I found a rear hub from a CB750f, could this possibly work?

[Industrial Cafe]

try it and let us know.

I think the axle is a different size, so you'll either have to swap swing arms or change the bearings

[Stevevo8]

Im looking at it from teh width stand point. Changing bearings might be the easiest part of the whole deal.

[Industrial Cafe]

if it's too wide, cut some off. there's always a good amount of spacers in there anyways.

Im on it, its gonna be cheaper finding out this way than buying a talon hub.
