CB750 F1 front caliper
Bryanj:
The repair Kit is one i buy in but it's cheaper if you buy 5 or more.
You drill out the old nipple straight through then open out and tap 1/8 NPT, screw in a brass insert that accepts a bleed nipple and has the seat on the inside.
Somewhere on the US site is a write up with pictures, if i can find the pictures again i will re-do it for here.
LesterPiglet:
Just pop this in guys. Don't use screw extractors. They are sh1t. They usually break off and leave a harder metal inside your nipple. OOer missus.
Bryanj:
OK if they attach there should be 3 pictures showing a very messed with 500 caliper sporting one of the "Kits" that i can get. They do come in 2 sizes for the different size bleed nipples but i see no reason the 500 one can not be used on a 750 as long as the caliper will take the 1/8 npt tap.
Waggles:
Cant help thinking there would be demand for re engineered calipers, I seem to see a lot of F1 owners in here ..... I for one would prefer I nice new one!
As a matter of interest for bore problems I noticed an ad in this months Classic Motorcycle Mechanics for a firm who seem to specialise in bike brake restoration and can re sleeve cylinders in stainless amongst other things. I have no connection with them and can't recommend them as I haven't used them but it might be worth an enquiry for anyone who is stuck?
They are called 'Past parts ltd' on 01284 750729 ( Suffolk )
Spitfire:
F1 brake calipers are like rocking horse poo but they do come up on eBay now and again, The original one on my F1 is fine but I wanted a spare one so just kept an eye on eBay and one came up, it's now refurbished, bagged and boxed with all the other "insurance" spares in the loft.
