Well it does say "brake"-singular-. Actually, the brake backplate torque arm is anchored to the frame, not to the swingarm, so the backplate must pivot on its own bearing, ergo it's floating. That's genuinely a nice feature.
Floyd Clymer's last stand. The Japanese expansion into the US was very hard on guys of that generation. They did not see how if we leveled Tokyo they'd have all the more reason to start out with state of the art equipment (bought in so-cal) that made Harley and Triumph's loose old equipment into boat anchors. Next was old man Honda's trip to Johnson Motors. He laughed in the truck after.
The statement of safer braking with fully floating brakes might be a bit contentious.
ReplyDelete...depending on how the fully floating is defined.
Brake shoes that don't rely on a fixed anchor pin on one end have an interesting reputation in some circles.

ReplyDeleteThis minibike venture might have had a chance of success but he passed away in 1970. The minibikes continued for a few years longer...
