He's 10-12 months out so not taking any work. Says OEM parts are getting hard to come by, like lifters but everything for the heads is available aftermarket. I have some very competent cylinder head machinists locally, and with stock cam/valve sizes 80% of the power increase of porting is probably in the valve head and valve seat anyway, so with Mike's input (hopefully) I'll do it myself and locally. 3
Pressureangle Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 Is it just me, or is there no master cylinder rebuild available? MG, Harper's, Bevel Heaven...nobody seems to got.
Pressureangle Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 2 hours ago, gstallons said: Which master cylinder are you referring to? The front, though looking at what came out of it I'll be doing the rear and all the calipers as well.
PhillipLarsen Posted March 18 Posted March 18 I bought rebuild kits for all master cylinders and callipers for my 2004 Ballabio last year from Powerhouse Automotive in UK. You can find them on ebay and their own website. If you don’t see what you need just ask them. They had it all for me and service was fast to Canada. 3

All these brake parts on these bikes are Brembo. You should be able to find a Brembo dealer/vendor that can hook you up w/all the rebuild kits you will need to do this. I would do everything so you will be finished and not have any worries. I am not sure about the hydraulic clutch master/slave parts. Also, Ducati (along w/most Italian brands) use Brembo on their bikes, maybe you can get some help there. This is the first day, so maybe someone will come through w/a good lead. When you go back together use Raybestos brake assy. lube and ALWAYS use new DOT4 fluid. Brake fluid is extremely hygroscopic so always use new fluid. Purchase small bottles so you can dump the rest in your car , truck or whatever donor you have . Edited March 18 by gstallons spelling error 2

On Harper's , go to brakes and the scroll down , they show front & rear kits but no caliper kits. Rear m/cyl. kit 17659350 for $39.44 and the front kit 17659352 is $29.95 .

I do like to see all the parts myself, but some bits like the handlebar master cylinders are less expensive than expected so I may just buy new ones. 1

gstallons Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I would think MG Cycle would have/offer all these parts. I would patronize them (personal preference) first and see what they stock . The fr. brake master cyl is a 12mm bore and the rear brake is a 15mm bore. I THINK all the calipers are 32mm fr. & rr..

My front MC piston measures 15.85mm. hm. Powerhouse Automotive says they have caliper kits if I can confirm piston diameter, but they do not have master cylinder bits. <shrug>
