The seal is a small O ring, it has been known to drill and tap thr arm for a grease nipple
Thanks. That shaft hadn't been greased in years by the look of it. I've cleaned it up and re-assembled with copperslip and new O rings for now but tapping a grease nipple is a good idea. Worryingly the previous owner said it had been given a recent front brake overhaul!

Put the bottom into a vice to hold, remove top (two hole part) see if you can get the seal out that's underneath that after removing, then spray penetrating oil into the seal gap. Keep doing that for a while then you should be able to rotate the arm on the spindle to free it and get the two apart for cleaning.
Thanks, I was just about to put heat on it until I saw you wrote 'seal' lol

Take top and bottom part and clean up and grease it well. It should swivel top and bottom.
Thanks NJ. I'll see if I can get it apart

Hi,
I'm trying to rectify a squeaky front brake on my K6.
Probably a stupid question but should the piviot shaft be able to move both ends?
The top bit with 2 holes moves fine but the bottom is locked solid?

Thanks both, I can see some differences. I need to educate myself in 70s Hondas

So the weekend went well and i've bit the bullet.
I bought a mechanically sound but needs a little TLC CB750K6.
I think she's original bar a new set of replica 341's and lovely paint job.
Rides fine apart from squeaky brakes at low speed.
Clutch is light and selects gears ok.
Throttle is heavy and doesn't return properly.
Slight oil leak from the rocker box but the oil tank was overfilled so might have been an issue.
She could do with some sympathetic refurbing of the fork legs and engine cases but its all usable.
Let the fun begin!

Thank you all for the replies and advice.
A good usable and as original as possible bike is the goal rather than a restoration project or show bike.
I do expect there will be some things I will get wrong in my search but hey its a learning curve, hopefully not a expensive one!
I have my eye on a couple of bikes already and have a couple of viewings planned now, they may even be members bikes!

Hello,
New member here. Not new to bikes but I am to seventies Hondas. Going to look at some 750K5/K6 bikes this weekend.
My being realistic and at my price point its going to be an import and its going to be a weekend rider type of thing not a show bike.
Any obvious pitfalls for a newbie. I've asked a lot of questions of the owners and the replies seem positive.
There also seems to be a good spares scene for these bikes which is encouraging.
