Spring for calliper adjuster wanted
mike the bike:
Like the push throttle cable. It's to reduce the revs when it goes up to 2500rpm at traffic lights.
dave400:
With or without the spring the brake is not the best :)
gtmdriver:
There's one on eBay at the moment.

Moorey:
If your not doing a all out restoration you can get a box of assorted compression springs for less than a fiver through your door off eday

If you need to do this then something fundamental is wrong with setup of carbs and cables. Honda are very specific on this with detailed amount of free play in the pull cable because the safety cable "push" is generally non adjustable. It just sits there doing nothing until an emergency need to close it may come along.
Brake spring just pushes the fixed (non hydraulic) pad away from the disc until it reaches the clearance you've set with the lock screw. But overall brake pad retraction is controlled by the action of the hydraulic seal and how clean/free the hydraulic piston moves.
The spring doesn't overcome a sticking piston and the brake will drag anyway if that's the case.
Swinging, sliding single piston calipers don't now generally use any spring return facilities after this original Honda design. It does seem a bit of overkill and won't really hurt operation, but to have it correctly installed seems desirable as you don't have to make any decision about what you are modifying.
