Title: cb750 f2 odd caliper
Post by: simongi on September 02, 2011, 10:48:51 AM

Hi Guys/gals!!
Am in the middle of my 78 f2 restoration and have noticed the left front caliper is different from the right hand. The left one has 'TOKICO' embossed on it. Can anyone throw any light on this as I don't know what pads to get.Cheers. Simon

Most Honda calipers were made by Tokico, chech to see if right and left caliper pads are the same

Hi. No they are different. the tokico pads have two pins that go right through and are split pined. the right hand caliper and rear caliper pads do not pins. cheers.

Then the only thing i can suggest is you find from a parts list which are the correct pads and get the appropriate correct caliper to fit as with different pads the area will be different and the braking force different
