    Can anyone tell me if the brake plate off a CB250N can be used on a CB250RSA rear wheel? Many thanks.

    Why don't you look on CMSNL.com and compare the part numbers.

    Yes, they're different, but photos of both hubs and brake plates from both bike look so the same to me?

    Ok, so I did find a difference in that the 250N uses 140x40 shoes, whilst the RS uses 140x30. The fittings to the plate look identical...hmm?

    Ok, so posts are taller on 250N plate. Shame, as there are loads on fleabay. Best regards.
