CB750 brake caliper and bracket 1977-78 style

The '77-'78 F and K models use two completely different forks/brackets/calipers. Sadly, they're not interchangeable.
I have a caliper/bracket from a '75 K model if you're interested in it.
The caliper will need to be rebuilt, and the bracket is missing the adjuster hardware. But both the rebuild kit and the hardware are easily sourced from BikeBandit/Parts-N-More/etc.

All mounts/bolt holes line up exactly.
That's the '75 on the left, and the '78 on the right. Aesthetically, the calipers are shaped just a little different and the bracket reflects that. Mechanically, the '75 bracket is narrower, but the caliper design makes up for that difference. Both year calipers have a rotor gap/spacing of 16mm. The '75 caliper bolts run in from the wheel side, and the '78 bolts run in from the outside. And the '75 differs slightly in where the line screws in and where the bleeder valve is located.
