This happened to both the clutch & the brakes (on separate occasions) on my
71 CB 'B' over a period of a few months & was due to the rubber bits being
worn out.
The problem was only fully solved once I had applied the 'sledgehammer to
crack a nut' solution of changing the brake & clutch master cylinders & the
clutch slave cylinder (on the premise that I only want to do this messy job
once, ever!). The rear brake cylinders had already been renewed a couple of
years ago & the fronts seem OK. That just leaves the pipes now!
