1961 CB72 SLS Front Brake HELP

Post by DavidUK » Tue Jul 12, 2016 1:09 pm

I've got a very early CB72 which I bought as a basket case on Ebay. From the frame number 10860 it should have a single leading shoe front brake.
I've got the SLS chrome lever and large circular spring.
I've been looking for a SLS back plate, but missed one on ebay a while ago, and have had no luck since.

Anyone out there got a spare ?

I live in the UK.

thanks
David

Welcome to the forum. I have been restoring a very rusty 1961 CB72 #10969 for a couple of years. The story can be found here.

Finding an SLS brake plate is a very tricky task indeed, but they do turn up from time to time.

Please post some pictures of your bike and that will encourage people to help.
