Joeleol Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi all, Just a quickie, I have acquired some of the lovely (looking) XS400 '80 wire wheels, both drums. The front is the twin leading shoe model (if anyone has these?) I was just wondering how good they are? I know they are going to be worse than disks, I am only interested in fade characteristics and life of the shoes. Thanks in advance, Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Joel depends how you ride, emergency braking won't be the same, but carefully set up with decent liners they will be ok. check for ovality, they can be skimmed and thick shoes manufactured to fit the bigger drum.
