Mounting rear Master Cylinder questions

[SangreDeDios]

anyone got any pics for mounting a rear master cylinder on a hardtailed bike.
I'm trying to come with some ideas and would like to see some examples.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks

thanks!
Is that a Mikes master cylinder?

Anyone else feel free, i'm trying to figure out a good way of mounting the stock master cyllinder or get a new one from Mikes.

Pretty much the same as Emz.

Kent, is that bit of tubing more or less functioning as a reservoir?

It sure is! Need to get some clear tubing yet so I can keep an eye on the level.

I'm stealing that idea, Kent! (hope you don't mind....)
The worst part about trying deal with the Mike's rear MC, to me, is where to position that big old reservoir that it comes with.

 

[kvanderploeg]

I'm certainly not the first one to do it, so steal away! I didn't like any of my options with that reservoir either.

Emz,
Would the caliper have fit between the rear frame rails instead of on top? It would make a much cleaner install that way.

Nice looking scoot, bye the way :+)

Here is how I mounted mine. Just a tab welded to the frame rail. I have a TC Bros hardtail, and it didn't have room to mount the disc brake caliper between the frame rails. As least not if you had to adjust the chain tension...

hey man, does that thing have a built in brake light switch, I see the two red wires and look on mikes but the decription does not specify

 

[luv2weld]

never mind, seen the banjo bolt brake switch

Is that a stock master cylinder?

 

[jcadwell]

Yes, stock master cylinder.
