Why You Need This Part: Front brake feel stiff on your Honda CL175 / CL200? The Honda CB front drum brake cables tend to get sticky with dirt and rust buildup over the years. Ditch the frozen cable for a new one that glides like butter. A great complement to a fresh set of front brake shoes. Remember the smoother and easier the front brake is to squeeze the more stopping power you put to the front drum. Adding a power brake lever well help out here as well.
Installation Tip: Lubricate the brake cable with some light oil at each end prior to putting it on the bike and lubricate the pivot at the clutch handle. Repeat this process once a year and you'll keep the cable in great shape.
Note: Early CL175, CB350, CL350, CL450 and CB450 models use a brake cable with the brake light switch built into the cable assembly. This version of the part is obsolete. The work around is to replace the lower half of the right side switch box with a used unit from a later production bike with the provision for the handlebar mounted switch. Or to replace the switch box with a later CB450 right side switch box and a new brake perch.
