The Ultimate Guide To Rebuilding Your Vintage Honda Motorcycle Hydraulic Brake System: Part 2

www.common-motor.com
Safety is a top tier priority on your vintage motorcycle. Our Honda CB175 / CB200 / CB350 / CB360 / CB450 / CB500 / CB550 / CB750 series of bikes do not have the best brakes to begin with, as it goes with any old bike, and when you throw the age of these components into the mix you have a disaster waiting to happen. Safety is one side of our core value triangle over here at Common Motor Collective and should be on yours too. Being that we make everything you need to get your hydraulic brake system in tip top shape we thought it was time we gave you a full guide on how to put it all together. This video is Part 2 of a 2 part series where we show you how to disassemble, inspect, rebuild, replace and properly install all of the pieces in your hydraulic brake system. Now that you have everything prepped to reassemble, in part 2 Brenden goes through the specific steps in which you should install your brake system to properly bleed it and not spend all weekend doing it. Lastly he goes over the bleeding process and and tips on what to look out for when taking the first ride on that Cafe Racer or Scrambler with your fresh brake system. Stay safe out there!

I truly hope you guys know how much these videos help first time builders! I feel like i'm watching and re-watching a common motor vid 3-4 times daily

Pro tip. Protect your painted surfaces with rags. Dot 3 will eat paint. Keep sprayer bottle filed with water handy for when fluid gets on paint. Wash it off quickly.

Excellent help video, thanks keeps us bikers safe😊

As a novice mechanic who is slowly building a collection of vintage bikes in retirement, I generally stay away from projects which could kill me if done wrong. After watching your Parts 1 & 2 several times I just finished replacing the front brake lines and caliper on my '73 CB 750, took it for a test ride and, remarkably, I am still alive. 😅Excellent, clearly done, video. Thanks for taking the time !

Brenden - I've had trouble in the past purging the brake line when installing a new master cylinder. But your technique worked like a charm. The brake line purged pretty quickly - and cleanly - which made the caliper bleeding go just as you showed it. And the new setup, all from CMC, works great. Thanks for this, and all of your videos.

Thanks for all of these vids. I am no longer in fear of the unknown and I see a source for parts. The rebuild of a 1972 carb was a great full swan dive into the guts of the thing.

[@boboshop55]

Great video and explanation!

[@webbhughes6291]

That split screen process was so nice to see! OCD cup filled for the day lol

[@jfu5222]

Thanks man! You've given me the confidence to rebuild the stock brakes on my ol' 550 café racer project.

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Always informative. Now I have to take my newly rebuilt caliper off and do it the right way. :)

[@pleasantstrummer]

Brilliant! Many thanks for producing and sharing this, very much appreciated. Both Parts 1 & 2, superb! I'm doing the front brake on my 1975 Honda CB500T and your video tutorial is a massive help!

[@nicolasbustos9686]
