The 90's CB750 Nighthawk has the largest rotor I have seen. It is 320mm, for comparison the CBR 929,954, and 1000RR use dual 310mm rotors, and just about everything else uses a 297mm. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk

+1 if you want to lock up the rear just adjust the brake peddle travel. That drum brake has more than enough power to lock the tire at will. I adjusted mine to have a ton of lever travel to prevent me from inadvertently locking the brake while I was learning to ride. If your front brakes are good

A better question would be - why would you want to bother with disk brake rear? As most modern disk / disk brake setups can attest - the rear doesn't need the braking power the front does due to compression of the front suspension during slowing - You need braking power on the front. If you want
