1977 cb550k master cylinder rebuild kit
« on: August 26, 2019, 07:38:56 AM »
All the kits I found say they work for a 74-76, but none say 77. Is there any difference between a 74-76 master cylinder and a 77 one? Basically asking if the 74-76 kit will work in a 77.
Thanks!

Check the Honda part number on one of the online sites plus knowing what bike and model would help
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

The model is a 1977 cb550k3. The part numbers are different, but the kits look identical except on the cmsnl site except the 76 has an extra piece. I was looking at david silver spares and they had a rebuild kit for a 77 with the identical part number as the 74-76. It should work.
