I was working on my cb750 brakes last night. deep in thought and i wondered. why so thick? now my first guess is to keep them from warping witch is probably true. but in my case i added a disk and caliper. My motorcycle would experience possibly less heat build up than a single doing all the work. If i drilled the rotors too. Is that enough to keep the rotors from warping. Is the metal different than modern rotors? Is there anybody who has experimented with thinner rotors?
Ive been working on this week also....
aluminum caliper pistons (why so heavy there too?) will this work? They might need to be steel. expansion rates from heat.
hard lines from the master to the brake line block (ive done this before. works great.)
machining calipers to take regular brake line ends and not the goofy honda rubber to steel line ends.(did that last night)
Got rid of the fork springs (experimenting using compressed air) hope it works since it got rid of alot of weight.
Has anybody else come up with an idea to lighten the load so to speak?
