1977 CB550 - Front Caliper
« on: December 07, 2011, 11:46:30 AM »
I discovered the front caliper housing is not worth restoring and am looking for alternative.

I am going to replace the master cylinder with an aftermarket one but I am having a hard time figuring out what caliper would work on the stock fork with no modification.

My caliper is currently in front of the fork. I have seen many having the caliper behind the fork. Is it just a matter of flipping the fork and everything works?

Thank you

You should re-post this in the SOHC/4 Bikes forum.

This forum (CB750A) doesn't get a lot of non-automatic traffic.
