Topic: front brake caliper interchange question

[SWMN-CB500]

Does anybody know what other years and models used the same front brake caliper as a 71 CB500? The one that I have is all beat to hell by someone (not me!) trying to get it unstuck, and I don't think it can be saved. I have seen brake calipers on ebay from various years and models that look like they might be the same in the pics, but I don't want to bid not knowing for sure. Thanks. Dennis

I put a cb750 hondamatic front brake caliper on my cb550.  I changed everything from the rotor to the brake fluid reservoir.  They work fine after I rebuilt the caliper & reservoir.  This is a common problem with old cb's.

For just the 500 caliper any 500/550 caliper also 360 twin 500 twin and 400 four NOT 450 twin or 750's
