1972 CB350 4 front brakes.
« on: March 11, 2010, 01:43:55 PM »
Hi.

I have a 1972 CB350 4. The front brake reservoir is leaking, and the front caliper needs rebuilding or... replacing. Is this difficult? Should I try to replace the whole front brake assembly with a good one, or rebuild the one I have? Can you give me a good supplier of parts for this job, if you feel a rebuild is better than a replace?
Any advice or input is much appreciated!!!!!!

It's deffinitely worth your time to disassemble and repair what you have. It's easy enough to do. Do a search on the site and you will find lots of info. The braking systems on all the sohc4 are basically the same.
