Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008Brake upgrade advice req'd.
Now, the CBX has performed admirably these past two weeks, but alternator rattle aside, the major problem I have found is the braking. Now, a set of braided hoses will undoubtedly perform better than a set of 28 year-old rubber hoses, but they'll still only be connecting a shiteoldhonda master cylinder to a pair of single piston calipers. Now, apparently the calipers off a CB900F are a "bolt-on" upgrade, but does the FOAK have any suggestion about what to do at the handlebar end? >Now, >Now, >Now, What.

Sounds like "The Bed" by Lou Reed from "Berlin". The wrist-cutting references could apply to Whinehouse though.

Tassles and a lever, I suggest. Then go nuts and get a badger's tail at the rear of the bike, on an antenna. > Now, the CBX has performed admirably these past two weeks, but > alternator rattle aside, the major problem I have found is the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > of 28 year-old rubber hoses, but they'll still only be connecting a > shiteoldhonda master cylinder to a pair of single piston calipers. 28-year-old hoses will probably bulge like Popeye's arms after a can of spinach. > Now, apparently the calipers off a CB900F are a "bolt-on" upgrade, but > does the FOAK have any suggestion about what to do at the handlebar > end? I'd stick new hoses on first, and see what it's like. If you go for the CB900F calipers, can't you just stick a CB900F master cylinder and lever on t'other end?

Heh. It's simple when you put it like that, isn't it? Of course, as soon as I do this, the stock forks will be shown up something rotten. >> I'd stick new hoses on first, and see what it's like. >> >> If you go for the CB900F calipers, can't you just stick a CB900F master >> cylinder and lever on t'other end? > > Heh.
