CB750 calliper needed

Now that I’ve been riding my bike 1975 CB750 a fair bit, I’m finding that the braking really is unsafe. The original calliper was so corroded at the seat of the bleed screw that it leaked and couldn’t be repaired. So I installed a new aftermarket unit. I’ve tried both organic and SBS ceramic pads. The master cylinder has been rebuilt and new brake lines fitted.
I’m sure that the braking should be much better. My neighbour’s CB750 stops way better with all original brake components.
Does anyone here have a calliper that they’d part with. Please let me know.
Cheers,
Ross

I'm impressed that a Honda needs more brake. Are you sure you weren't going downhill with a big tailwind at the time?

The little Honda goes ok, but she ain’t no Z1. My particular Honda doesn’t want to stop at all. Pretty scary actually. I humbly admit, your Stelvio would quite easily outrun and out stop my Honda.
