CL-77 Brake cable issues. Heed help

eyedragaknee · Post by **eyedragaknee** » Sat Jul 30, 2011 1:16 pm

I bought "reproduction" brake cables at the Mid Ohio swap meet from a vendor, They don't fit and don't look like the originals. Either the hubs and cables I have(originals) are incorrect or the repro cables are not.
The end fittings don't look the same and the diameters are different(too big)

This is the large brake 66 CL77.

Any help? Pictures here. Thanks

I bought some from Tims honda restoration and they were right on the money and were fairly reasonable. I'd check with him. nutt

About a couple of years ago I had the exact same problem with the end being too large to fit in the rear brake plate.. I contacted the vendor I purchased it from and he took it back without a problem and covered shipping. I sent them similar pictures to yours with the calipers. He said I was first person to have the problem.

LM,
I take it that on a CL the threaded end goes through the brake plate. When I gave my 2 cents, I should have clarified that the issue I had was with a CB77 reproduction cable. Am I correct in thinking that the threaded end on a CB rear cable goes to the brake pedal? That’s the way the old one was on the bike and also how the manual I have shows it but of course they can be wrong. I never did get a replacement and at some point the old cable has to be replaced and I don’t want to make another mistake (if that’s what I did).

Thanks,
Rich

On the CB the adjuster is at the foot peg for sure. ............lm
