This is probably one of those questions that no one will know the answer to without me just experimenting myself. But worth a try!

Got a spare CB250RS front end to fit to my RXS100 for a disc brake "upgrade"

The yokes are a perfect fit for anyone wondering.

Realised i don't have a brake caliper though and struggling to source one.


Does anybody know which other Honda calipers are compatible?

Pretty sure I replaced mine with one off a CB250N when the bleed nipple broke off in it.

I'm told that the 'early' CB250N, the caliper with the single piston and not the double is the same as the RS .

Have a look cmsnl and compare part numbers to find out.

The 250RS uses a single piston sliding caliper, with a very large (45mm or so) piston. They aren't very good. I would be tempted to find a way to at least fit the ubiquitous nissin 2-pot sliding caliper.

Dunno, it was back when you could wander into a breakers, pop your old one on the desk and ask" Got something that could replace that?" Smile

cheers for the info.
Upon checking cmsnl it appears a CB750K 1980 uses the same caliper.

Plenty of them on ebay!

Thanks
