About the Honda VT750CDB Shadow ACE Deluxe
Rear shoe springs and the brake-rod spring are separate CDB brake purchases.
Distinguish the two rear-brake spring locations
The rear brake-shoe spring set uses reference 43151-346-000. The individual brake-rod spring uses 95014-73100 and belongs to the linkage. Both list CDB 2002–2003. Identify the worn spring and its attachment points; neither product supplies the friction shoes.
Keep front reservoir repairs separate
The front diaphragm, reference 45520-MM5-006, seals beneath the reservoir cap. The lever pivot bolt and nut repair a different location. Record CDB and the model year from the documents: Honda’s 2002 CDB2 and 2003 CDB3 catalog color entries differ, so current tank color alone cannot establish the application.
