Interesting!
  Decades ago, Yokohama was highly regarded!

Apparently Shinko is owned by Shinko.  They bought motorcycle tire technology and molds from Yokohama.

I'm impressed that a Honda needs more brake. Are you sure you weren't going downhill with a big tailwind at the time? 

Honda used the same calliper for many models.

Blasphemy.

This song has done by a lot of artists but I like this one because of the music.

I have a Z1 caliper.

Now that I’ve been riding my bike 1975 CB750 a fair bit, I’m finding that the braking really is unsafe.  The original calliper was so corroded at the seat of the bleed screw that it leaked and couldn’t be repaired.  So I installed a new aftermarket unit.  I’ve tried both organic and SBS ceramic pads.  The master cylinder has been rebuilt and new brake lines fitted.

I’m sure that the braking should be much better.  My neighbour’s CB750 stops way better with all original brake components. 

Does anyone here have a calliper that they’d part with.  Please let me know.

Cheers,
Ross

Ya I don’t plan on riding. Doing my riding g right now.
