aftermarket master cylinder sugestions for gt750

Post by two-stroke-brit »

hi all.
were my buffalo has been sitting dormant for 18 months the master cylinder has leaked, not sure if its just the seal because it looks like it came from under the clear plastic cup bit.
so was thinking of replacing with an aftermarket one but need to know the dia to maintain the same feel.
any pointers or recommendations are most appreciated
thanks mark

Doesn't anybody look at my sticky post "general info and specs"? The info on the MC specs is in there. Just look!
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

I fitted a M/C from an RF900 (same type as fitted to all the twin-disc Bandits) to my 380 with single disc, it works a treat. Stopping is a now 2-finger job rather than the 2-fist job it used to be :shock:, but it's also progressive with good feel and never 'grabs.' All-metal one-piece body too, so no leaks.

Of course the new M/C is overpowering the single caliper but it should work fine with the two-caliper setup on the GT750.
