1980 Honda CBX brake rebuild
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2022 3:14 pm
Well folks:
I took the brakes off the bike a few days ago and started to pull them all apart and now have them all cleaned up and ready to put back together.
They look pretty good to me. Even the original brake pads are looking good. Mind you the bike only has 8952 original km on it.
Here are some photos. Interesting that the calipers don’t say Honda on them but in fact say Nissin on them.
I am pretty sure that everything is original as it does not appear to have been taken apart ever.
Some of the paint has come off the rear master cylinder as well as some from the front mater cylinder
The calipers are still very nice.
The right handle bar has some paint that has come off of it due to the brake fluid leaking there.
I was thinking of repainting these 3 things but will have to do some research as to what paint is a match for them. A rattle can paint would work for me as it is simple to use as well.
Let me know your thoughts
