[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 100555, member: 597"] These TZ Yamaha brakes are nice although they are quite heavy as the hub and plates are made from aluminium not magnesium. At 260 mm they are probably the largest commercially made four leading shoe brake that is readily available. It probably is worth more than a replica, but it may need some work before use if the linings and/or the hub bearings need replacement, so you need to think about that. I personally like the 230 mm Ceriani because it is available with optional magnesium plates and this offers quite a saving in weight especially on a race bike, they are a great sized brake that suit classic bikes and they have a large intake/cooling scoop which is important for cooling. The only minor down side is they don't have the cable anchor on the plates like the Yamaha ones do, even the Suzuki 4 L/s GT 750 brake has this feature. But if you are running telescopic forks, the torque stay brackets to anchor the brake plates generally have a small extension to the rear to anchor the outer cable/adjuster to anyway. I have made many of these brackets so they fit the conversion better and align the cables correctly with no problems. [/QUOTE]
