CB750K Master Cylinder Refinish
« on: December 26, 2008, 07:55:28 AM »
The original black finish on my 750K4 master cylinder has faded out to a grey silver-ish patina and I want to restore it. It appears originally to have a black anodized finish, but I'm not sure. Is anodizing the correct Honda finish?

If so, does anyone have a recommended source for re-anodizing Honda master cylinders?

Yes I beleive anodizing is correct but don't know who does it. I have been wondering myself if you could get something that looks similar with translucent black powder coating?
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.
