Needed - 78 CB750K Front brake assembly

ian277
I just bought a 78 CB750 K and it only came with half the front caliper, piston and piston seal. I looking to buy a caliper that would fit the bike but having major difficulty finding a caliper that will work. Thoughts? If you've got the part, I'm interested. Thanks   ian

Here, you go. This one is the same as the 78 k, but be prepared to pay $100.00

This is an early K model caliper. It will work, you just need to use the bracket that is on it.

I have a '79 K parts bike, and I think it still has the front caliper. I'll check tonight and post up either tonight or tomorrow about it.
