what is the best replacment master cylinder for my bike

 

[Shep]

You mean,"Brake" master cylinder

"Best" is subjective.There's lots to choose from that will do the job.



Some have fitted these types and are happy with them,

There are Honda alternatives as well,

I like the Gun Metal grey of the above.I think it looks classy.Also being a Honda it will have service kits available if ever required

I'm not a fan of the one on top, looks cheap and is definitely chinese.

I've seen a lot of,"Chinese" products criticism over the past few weeks.Although there are some poorly made products there are some good as well.I'm sure also as time passes QC will get better and known good brands will emerge just like it did years ago with Japanese and then Taiwanese products.



My 2 cents.

I know I keep pushing this - but a master from a sport bike is far superior to even a new replacement. I used one from a Honda CBR600RR.

"I have that first one on three of my bikes now. I do have to tweak the reservoir to match the angle of the bars, but IMHO I love them. I also have steel braided lines on all three bikes and they all stop almost as well as my race prepped RC51 (crotch rocket). If you don't think the style jives with your bike, then find one that does. I have experimented with probably 20 cylinders differing from CRF450R masters to VT1100C masters and they all worked. Some had slightly different pull lengths and some had better lever feel, but they all worked."

Admins should start locking threads like this. This EXACT thread was started in the customize section 8 hours ago.





Use the SEARCH people!

Then there would be locked threads everywhere. Tis the season.

Very true, but they would fall to the bottom quick.
