Hello Everyone from the Lovely state of VT!
Back in January on a very cold and frosty day, I bought a 1980 CB750K. Previous owner had died, yada yada. Now that I'm working on getting it running and reassembling it, I've found that the front caliper shafts are missing (part# 45131-425-023). Great. There aren't any boneyards up here that I'm aware of and this shafts (which hold the caliper assembly together) are hard to come by and expensive ($50/bolt). I feel like I have three options and would like you opinion on the best:
1) Shell out the $$$ for two bolts on an otherwise perfectly good caliper
2) Ditch perfectly good caliper and buy a more perfectly new caliper
3) Replace the caliper with a non-OEM caliper (any ideas on which one?)
If you can recommend a serviceable replacement for these caliper shafts, that'd be swell, too.
Thanks in Advance!
