Part: Honda CB360 / CB450 / CB550 Replacement Master Cylinder
Why You Need This: Sometimes the master cylinder on your Honda CB360, CB450 / CB500T, or CB550 simply cannot be rebuilt. Years of sitting in old brake fluid have turned its once-mighty stopping power into aluminum dust. Don't worry—our high-quality replacement brake master cylinder comes ready to install with the correct look and feel for your Honda CB360, CB450, CB500T, or CB550. This master cylinder features a 14mm piston, identical to the original factory unit, and includes the brake lever.
While overhauling your Honda's front brake, it’s also a great time to replace the brake hoses, the hard line, and rebuild your brake caliper.
Note: This master cylinder is not visually identical to the factory unit but looks very similar. It fits and performs exactly like the original.
Installation Tip: Always use fresh brake fluid from a sealed container. Start the bleeding process with the hard line disconnected from the caliper. Purge the line until all air is removed from the system, then reconnect the line to the caliper and complete the bleeding procedure. Using a speed bleeder makes the brake bleeding process significantly easier.
