Some help, please.
« on: January 22, 2020, 08:08:04 PM »
guys, would someone please take a look at these brake components and tell me if they're labeled correctly? They're all slightly different and I think I've ID'd them correctly but I'd like some confirmation. Thanks in advance.

From memory (sold my last cb550 a while ago) aren’t the 550 calipers smaller and the through bolts closer together than the CB750........?

I dunno. I was just looking at the curvature over the caliper portion... I don't have a CB550 to compare.

I think you have it correct, Ted. The 750 caliper arms position the caliper further from the axle, due to the larger diameter rotor.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Left one 60 to 72  the other 2, check bolt pattern center to center, 500 is closer together than 750.
