Title: cb750 caliper
Post by: gasman on November 27, 2013, 06:29:36 PM

Hi Guys
Need some help, would anyone have a front caliper for a cb750, have purchased couple from the states but when I get them they are not what I need, one is off a k7 - the other-god knows. Happy to pay the going rate, just desperate. Met a guy at the Stafford show who had one, gave me his phone number, it don't ring. So if you can help, would really appreciate it.
regards neal

Dear Pete
Its a k3, I believe that the K3/4/5/6 are all the same, the k7 is slightly different, inlet and bleed at angles to one another.
Thanks for your interest, I am pulling my hair out trying to find one.
thanks neal

Neale have you checked with DSS to see if they do a reproduction unit?

Hi Guys
David Silvers, well -I spend more money with these guys than enough, £1800 for a cbx and cb750 [pattern] exhaust. They are great to deal with but £200 plus for a caliper, well, I will keep looking and hope one of the guys on the forum will help me out.

Hey Bitsa
I am not the avid forum guy, once the cold sets in I pick on one of my bikes and try to improve it and spend my nights trawling through e-bay and the likes for bits. Sorry, I have only just noticed you made a comment about my bike, wanting to know what was hanging out of the side panel, well, all my bikes stay on life support, my vfrs have two leads, one lifesupport and the other for sat nav. Thanks for your reply.
Regards neal the gasman
