1973 Honda CB500K · Brake & Clutch Buying guide
Use the fitted brake and clutch equipment to identify the repair. The front pad package contains two pads and the rear drum package two shoes. A clutch cable renews the control connection; it does not renew the internal clutch stack.

Pads and shoes act at different ends of the braking system, while hoses and piston seals address hydraulic parts. Inspect the actual worn components instead of treating a two-piece friction set as a comprehensive brake rebuild. Keep separate hydraulic service requirements visible in the order.
The cable is one control component. The clutch plate listings instead specify individual pieces, with seven friction plates and six steel Plate B discs for the listed 1973 CB500K. Those quantities are separate from the four-piece spring set. Inspect the release mechanism and installed stack before choosing the repair.
Compare the two stated pad shapes, 52 x 20 mm and 52 x 12.8 mm, with the fitted caliper’s locating features. One package supplies both pads for one compatible front caliper. Confirm the assembly rather than selecting from motorcycle year alone.
The internal kit references Honda 45530-377-305 for one compatible front cylinder. Match the existing cylinder before ordering. A replacement assembly has its own piston specification, and the rebuild kit is not described as providing a new body or brake lever.
The CB500K friction listing specifies seven plates; the 1972–73 steel Plate B listing specifies six under 22321-KA4-700. Each plate is individually supplied. Compare the engine and fitted clutch stack before ordering those counts if major components have been changed.
