Need front brake caliper for 75 CB550 - 2 bolt
« on: May 16, 2012, 09:09:35 am »
Hey all,

When I bought my bike it came with broken bleed screw in the front caliper.  I tried to EZ Out it, but that did not turn out so great.   So in short I need a new (to me) front brake caliper for a 75 CB550k1.  It is the the two bolt caliper and I would not mind rebuilding it if needed.  I have checked eBay but they seem to be rare and move fast when they show up.  I am not sure if someone has a parts bike or one laying around.  I am obviously looking for the main half of the caliper I dont need both sides.

I can pay via Paypal if someone has one for sale.

Thanks!

I have a similar problem with a spare caliper for my 78.  I remeber seeing on here that NAPA sells a kit to drill/tap and replace the bleeder with a slightly larger size. I will check on this this weekend. Hope it helps.
