Hey guys, Y'all must remember when I use to ***** and complain about my braking on the car. I search the entire Ebay for a cheap upgrade and found two for sale but I bought the one with the brake cables etc.... Then I realize my CAT rotted out so I bought some Imitation parts off Ebay.

one model came with rear disc on the 4cyl

Yeah the EX model, and boy they are hard to find. I just cut off the rear ABS sensor wires. The brake response is firm and sharper since I swap out the drums which I hated. These are some simple cheap MODS I always recommend to Newbies.

What's the point in stopping slow and going fast?

The LX-V6 came with 5-lug drums, iirc.

IMO, drums aren't bad when maintained correctly, they just have more finicky bits!

I also run a front drum on my '75 CB360 8) I used a CJ360 (iirc) front hub/drum I rethreaded to my CB360 rim. I did that for looks, not performance, it cleaned up my handlebars 8)

Rear discs definitely look alot nicer. Mine is an 4cyl EX-L with heated mirrors/seats, rear discs

Just looked it up because I was curious. All V6s were rear disk.

Make sure to get the brake hose and E-brake cables with that disc hub spindle knuckle very important.
