72 cb500 disc brake piston interchangeability
« on: May 07, 2010, 12:45:10 PM »
I have a 72 cb5oo four that needs a brake piston.

Are there any other bikes I can pull one out of?

I could possibly get the front or rear pistons out of a 79 cb750.

Will that fit?  Any others?

No, one of the golwing ones will fit as long as you have usd pads andi think maybe an SOHC 750 as the seal is the same but havent tried that one
