Front brake master cylinder repair kit fits the rear master cylinder, just swap the rubbers from the front piston to the old rear piston.

:sick: Wish I had known that the front seals are good for the rear caliper. Anyway, it's all good and looks the part.

Please don't get confused with the pieces of the brake system, the "caliper" is the piece with the brake pads that stop the bike, and the "cylinder" is the piece that supplies the brake fluid pressure that makes the brakes work, sorry I just think your mixing the two up, cheers Pete.

You are right, that didn't make any sense at all- I was intending to refer to the front and rear master cylinders. The rear I have had rebuilt using new seals and a new bore, the front master seams ok. The front calipers are border line, the pistons look manky but they still work ok, I will probably get those rebored and sealed just to bring them up to spec. Next time I wont post after a massive face full of beer. Cheers :sick: :woohoo:

Binnacle and warning panel back on. Bars have been polished. All connectors and wires cleaned and looking ok. The top and bottom yokes have been painted as have the headlight hangers. The head bearings seem ok so I have left them alone for now. The fork seals also seem to be ok so I will give them the benefit of the doubt- for now.
