I am converting a customers bike to twin discs, but whilst he has a pair of calipers he hasn't got a pair of discs. The discs that came with the calipers are too small in diameter (from memory I think they may have been 275mm and he need bigger 'uns!

The 4 bolt fixing Z650 twin discs as fitted to C1/C2/C3 etc are all 275mm O.D.

The B models with a single brake caliper and usually spoked wheels had a larger disc.

I "think" it was 290mm but do not have a definitive reference to hand that says to confirm.

The larger rotors with 4 bolt fixings were fitted to single disc models

H1-D (1973)
H1-E (1974)
H1-F (1975)
KH500-A8 (1976)
Z1000-A1 (KZ1000) (1977)
Z1000-A2 (KZ1000) (1978)
Z1000-A2A (KZ1000) (1978)
Z650-B1 (1977)
Z650-B2 (1978)
Z650-B2A (1978)
Z650-B3 (1979)
Z750-B1 (1976)
Z750-B2 (1977)
Z750-B3 (1978)
Z750-B4 (1979)
Z900-A4 (1976)
Z900-A5 (1977)

The 4 bolt fixing 275mm twin discs were fitted to

Z650-C1 (Custom) (1977)
Z650-C2 (Custom) (1978)
Z650-C3 (Custom) (1979)
Z650-D1 (SR) (1978)
Z650-D1A (SR) (1978)
Z650-D2 (SR) (1979)

Dont forget to upgrade the master cylinder as well ... :wink:

296mm IS the Z650B and all the other models I listed single disc. You must be running calipers in front of the forks I'd wager. Those are the calipers that go with the larger discs and vice versa :wink:
