1983 GL1100 ASPENCADE

[wmpotter399]

Does anyone know of a different caliper that can be used on the right front of a 1983 Aspencade? On mine the bleeder screw broke off. And then, of course, the EZ out broke off when I was trying to get it out. I cannot find one ANYWHERE. Please tell me that there is another caliper that can be used.

A picture of the caliper would be helpful. I believe that they are the twin pot style used on many Honda bikes from the early 80’s. Any CB or CX650 series like the CB900/1000/1100 should fit the rotor and bracket on that bike.

They look the same, but the Aspencade has vented rotors so the caliper actually has a wider opening. Kind of a tough one to find...

Is 83 aspencade the same as the 83 interstate?

I have the two front from the interstate (if they fit). They will need a complete rebuild though if you are interested.
very reasonable - pm me
I sold the bike.

Part numbers of the calipers are slightly different as the GL1100 Interstate looks like it used the non vented style front rotor.
If you can't find one take the caliper to a machine shop and they should be able to extract it. If they can weld a bolt onto the extractor stub or another method that works for them they should be successful.
Heat is your friend when dealing with frozen steel bolts into aluminum castings that have lots of corrosion and rust.

The CBX1000 used a vented rotor on the last model year that is possibly comparable as an exchange caliper from the 1982 model. Do a cross reference search on the part numbers if you can find one.
