Hi, I ordered a 100cm M10 front brake line from eBay today. The master has a 14 on it. How do I know if the banjo bolt fittings will be the right size?

Thank you! I guess I’ll have to get rid of the ape hanger handle bars

Can you suggest how I make sure to get the proper length? And, do I have to use the spitter on the front hose, or should I bypass it and just use a single hose? Only one disk on the front wheel.

Ok, thanks. This is the main reason I access this site. For practical knowledge not found in the manual

Thanks for reaching out

Thanks, I believe the rear master can be rebuilt, it looks clean inside and I just received a used front master in the mail yesterday. I’ve been a mechanic most of my life, but never on bikes. I’m 63 and this Yamaha fell into my lap. I may use the original hoses for front and rear. They...

I’ll try pics.

Well, well, well. No response? Have I been blackballed? What’s wrong, y’all used to be so helpful. Some kind of expectation I didn’t meet. We’re men here, speak up. You won’t hurt my feelings

So, I’m back. I’m asking for reliable rebuild or replacement master cylinders front and rear and new hoses. I don’t want junk. Suggestions more than welcome. Tires, chain and a headlight and she will be on the road again. Can’t wait. Haven’t been on a bike since mid eighties. Thanks.

The master/hand lever for the front brake is probably a must for me. Now the rear master, I will want to replace that as well. Any ideas?

I’m glad you piped up. I don’t know if mikes xs is reliable for parts to rebuild my calipers and master cylinders. Can you help guide me to a good source to gets these?

Hi, I’m ready to rebuild the brakes. Do you have any suggestions about where to get front and rear caliper rebuild kits as well as front and rear new hoses. Also rebuild kits for front and rear master cylinders? I’d appreciate it muchly
