Does this look like stock front brake parts CB750 K6 ?
« on: November 04, 2017, 10:07:38 PM »
Can anyone recommend any good rebuild kits for the caliper and master cylinder?
Thanks

Everything looks correct except that rotor.  I'm not even sure it's made by honda.  If it is, it's from a '80's or newer bike...if everything lines up right, should be an improvement.  Caliper is stone simple.  You most likely only need a caliper piston seal, if even that.  I almost always re-use 'em.  The master cylinder is a #$%* though.  I generally just replace them.  David Silvers Spares sells a nice repro for only slightly more than a rebuild kit or grab just about anything off ebay will work.
If it works good, it looks good...

 Good eye on that rotor Sean. See something embossed on a 'spoke', looks like 6mm maybe ?, may be a clue on what it is.

Have you used this kit, evinrude7?
Thanks

yes.  works perfectly.  get yourself some long circlip pliers and penetrating oil if you plan to rebuild your master cylinder.

this is a good video for guidance.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yS8uw5-Rz8

The rotor is probably off/for a CB750 DOHC. It is definitely a Honda rotor. Early CBXes and Goldwings had a similar looking rotor

This is also a great master cylinder rebuild.

Dino rebuilds a slightly different master cylinder in his video.
