Hi Ken

Unfortunately the whole length of the stanchion was measuring 34.19 so I assume they been done on the cheap somewhere ?

Good Morning All
Good Evening
I brought a CB750 / Cb550 calliper unit with arm assy from Ebay, I ordered a 550 calliper overhaul piston kit from Roger at Honda classic restorations Not realising that there are a couple of difference's that Honda made to the CB750 / 550  callipers over time & models
The calliper overhaul kit I ordered had a replacement piston Dia of 37.9 mm & a depth of 33.9 mm
The calliper of the spare CB750 has a calliper piston             Dia of 42.9 mm & a Depth of 33.60 mm

Also on the spare CB750 calliper it appears the the bolt hole spacings are slightly wider than on the CB550 k3 ones fitted to my bike currently. I also thought that 750 callipers all had 8mm bleed nipples this spare calliper from Ebay has a 7mm bleed nipple

From what I have read from the internet is that the Ebay CB750 calliper I have may be from a CB750F/F1 and CB750-K7/8 ??   Does anyone know if I can fit this calliper and pads with its arm assy onto 550 k3 standard disc ??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi ALL

I have just had my fork legs returned from A M Philpots in Luton ( as recommended by Julie & Graham) Wow what a fantastic service they collected them via courier all I had to do was to print off a lable for the courier and stick it on the box ready for them to collect 👍 😊,
My stanchions where mic-ing up to 34.19mm which I think from talking to others here on the forum could be why mine where always weeping slightly and as members are aware they need  to be 35mm for a CB550 / 750.
So had a chat to the managing Director of Philpots who said NP we can bring them back up to original spec of 35mm and check the trueness of them as well, They also do a rebuild service which comes with a 1 yr warranty 🤗 if needed
They use a overnight courier service which is great as I was contacted yesterday and got in my hand lunchtime today they came well packed and brought back by the same courier firm 👍

Overall very happy with the whole service and professionalism well worth the 4-5 wk wait happy to recommend them

Hi
I am Nigel & my faithful CB550 Muttley 🐕 (named as he's had 20+ owners over his lifetime )  Sadly due to a change in job I lost my ride partner this year as he has gone back to Mon-Fri 8-5, So riding out is now alone out over some of the best countryside in the UK , If anyone would like to join us on a ride out any day it is sunny and dry ( Muttley & I don't do cold & wet as where both over 50 yrs+ ) We mainly ride in the week or can do weekends, We are like steady away kind of ride out always riding for the enjoyment not to see how fast we can go from A-B. With coffee & cake 🧈☕️at our destination and then a relaxed ride back, Muttley & I normally cover between 50-100 miles on a ride out but are happy to do what suits others. Any make or age of bike is welcome to join us so if anyone would like to come we be happy to see you.

Best Regards
Nigel & 🐕
