Well, I've been tinkering again...
I decided it was time to upgrade the front brake on my 07 America seems as pretty much everything else has been changed/altered/modified in one way or another in my past 6+ years of ownership.
It started off like this with the standard Nissin caliper & solid brake disc...
I collected the parts over a month or so, mainly from ebay...
The front caliper is a Nissin 3-pot from a 2011 Honda Hornet CB600F with ABS which I've stripped & rebuilt...
Floating front brake disc with titanium brake disc bolts...
Nissin 3-pot caliper fitted with Armstrong GG organic brake pads, titanium caliper & banjo bolts, stainless steel brake pad pin & a speed bleeder nipple...
I kept the standard America master cylinder, just cleaned it out & flushed it through with DOT 4 brake fluid...
I've since covered just over 100 miles so it's well & truly bedded in & I can confirm there's a definite improvement in stopping power. The bikes pulls up quickly & effectively with minimal effort at the lever.
Total cost for this modification was just under £200 so in my opinion, worthwhile & reasonable...
I've also found the Bonneville sprocket cover i modified to fit my bike a few years back but never got round to fitting & did that too...
