1971 CB750 no front brake

nickxrx
Planning on purchasing a CB750. It does not have a front brake. Not sure exactly what was removed but I do not see a rotor on the front. How hard would it be to put a front brake back on.(Lets assume everything needed to operate the front brake has been removed) Thanks

If it has the stock wheel, and forks it is not hard at all. the parts can be found on e-bay. The caliper will be the expensive part. But the trick is to get one from another Honda of the years 72-78. they were all the same except for the later K models, but they will work also (just break pads are more expensive). I just watched a caliper for a 750 go on e-bay for $102.50, and another one off a 72 350 four for $19.99, and they are the same thing. LOL
If you post some pictures, I could tell you exactly what you will need.
