Been Around the Block
I was rebuilding the front brake for my 1976 Honda CB 750K and ordered a new piston, piston o ring, and brake pads for that model, but they are all too small. I did a little sanding on the outside of the caliper assembly and found "K5" stamped into it, but the 750 K5 should have the same brakes as the K6 right? So I'm thinking the front brake is from a different model.
My piston is 43mm in diameter, 34mm tall with what seems to be a cap on the piston, not sure if it comes off, but if it does then it's 29mm tall.
My piston is on the left and the correct K6 caliper is on the right (that one measures 38mm in diameter and 34mm tall)
Some sort of cap on top mine. Not sure if it comes off
Rubber washer that goes on top
Then the brake pad goes on top, most of the pad material was rotten and came apart trying to take all of it out of the caliper
Any idea what kind of piston and brake pads I need to be buying?
