Thanks for the replies.
Hairy Git, I have the 'O' rings fitted in the holder and the pin greased.
Dennis, thanks for measuring yours and reporting back.
Trigger, I'm going to follow your advice and slacken the 3 bolts and maybe push the pin up using a small 'G' clamp on the pin and top bracket. Perhaps that's why the 2 top bracket fixing holes are slightly slotted.
I'll keep the old stuff and PM you if I want them refurbished.
All good advice and help, thanks to everyone.

Thanks for the reply,
Fitting a grease nipple to the holder seems a good idea.
The old holder and pin I replaced had a lot of play and a massive amount of front brake judder when braking lightly, the new holder has reduced that some what.
I was concerned that the new holder was a repro part and not up to Honda spec, but if a little play is normal then I have to live with a little brake judder.
Thanks again for your reply.

Yes I replaced the arm and pin, please see photos.
Up and down play is about 1.5mm, is this normal?

Hi, can any one tell me how much radial play should be on a CB750 F1 front brake caliper holder (45115 392 003). I've just fitted a new holder and I still have a wee bit of radial play but maybe because it could be a repro part and not a genuine Honda part. BTW I replaced the holder to reduce front brake judder. please see photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/axeqMDTWX9aLG2D39

Also CB750 F1 front brake caliper has a larger diameter piston.

Yep, I had the same problem on my CB750 F1 front brake caliper and had to sand down new EBC brake pads to fit.

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent quality make of classic motorcycle boots? Normally I would prefer to buy from a UK company but my recent experience with failed Aqua boots shortly after the warranty expired has changed that preference. https://goo.gl/photos/FLbugW67uodCmiEw5 All suggestions welcome!

Hello Trigger, here's a copy of my post from 24th March 2017 offering the parts first to members. Hello all,
I'm having a garage spring clean and have some CB500 Four parts to sell.

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
If you care to read the listings you will see that there is already a bid on the tank badges.
Also if you are able to digest and understand the item descriptions you will see that shipping is possible.
The parts are in the UK not the Czech Republic.

I only ask because my F1 also had poor fuel consumption of around 35mpg when I first bought it.
After a service and tune up including carb synch the fuel consumption problem was still the same.
Met a bloke on a F1 at the Moto Piston rally in Santander and he told me to renew the needle jets with genuine Honda items. He said they would need renewed about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles to maintain decent fuel economy.
He was correct, on a recent 3,000 mile round trip to Ireland I averaged 52mpg. 
Is that just the jets or needle and jets.?
Last tank of fuel on my F1 worked out at 40.2mpg but more often than not 37-39 but I am not exactly gentle with it.
That's the slide needle and needle jet (supplied as a set from Honda, part number 16012 392 004)

Have you ever renewed the carb needle jets?
