Hello, can you tell me if there is a more efficient front brake system that can adapt without too many changes? Honda CB 450 twin .... Thanks
Hello can you tell me if there is a more efficient front brake system that can...

Replace the front brake master cylinder with a unit off a later model bike that has the brake light switch in it, then ditch the old brake lines and just run a single braided line from master cylinder to brake caliper. Then get new pads. Big difference.
-
then I you're saying that I have to eliminate the bulb of stop?
-
so a 750 would fit?
-
No - just the wires that send the signal to the bulb. They can be inside the newer brake master cylinder perch.
-
But why bother?
-
I did that.
-
Stock CB750 is not much different from stock CB450 - so you are not improving anything.

-
Here's mine. Put a straight piece of brake line in and new pads. Can do stoppies now
-
That's the ticket. What brake master did you use?
-
Ebay moto GP style levers. Like 50 bucks for the set...
-
I love them. So comfy.

I am running a Kawasaki ZX14 front brake master cylinder on my CB750, it would probably also work on a CB450 given the brakes are pretty much the same. You need to make sure your master cylinder is matched up to your brakes, getting the wrong size can be a total fail.
-
How do you mean? Like the 10mm banjo bolt?
-
-
No - like piston diameter in the master cylinder.
-
I didn't even think of that. Guess I got lucky lol
-
Me too
-
yes, I got an aftermarket master from an ebay seller and coupled with steel lines from now defunct Slingshot Cycle and my 450 was stopping safer. Lemme see if I can post a link of the mc.
-
I used my lower line sections and it reached mine perfectly. I'll post a pic in a minute.
