I blasted and prepped to rebuild the front master cylinder but having a hell of a time finding the right rebuild kit for the round style front master… not having to worry about stopping is nice

I’ll give it a go. As long as I stop I guess haha

I will definitely attempt. The only part that is broken beyond repair is the end rubber stopper that covers the c clip. Maybe a rebuild kit replacement would fit?

Attempting to rebuild an older model front master cylinder. I was able (with a lot of effort) to removed the hydraulic which is 15.8mm at its widest section. Seen a 16mm bore rebuild advertised but the parts don’t match the original I pulled (pic of old and what is advertised attached). Anyone...

I have no clue. Is there a chance I’ll kill my CDI box if it’s mounted a few inches away then?

Update; Mounted Rec/reg to bottom of the box, ground off the paint where the body grounds, and added two grounding wires which will bolt onto the frame about 1’ away. Hope that is enough to prop ground it. Added rubber grommets for rattle factor. Next is to mount the CDI box in there...

Nice. Makes sense. Off to the hardware store for grommets now!

All this makes complete sense. Thank you. As 5twins mentioned, I might as well mount it to the bottom of the box. This rec/reg came with my PMA HHB kit. How do I know if that’s Chinese vs Japanese? No manufacturing markings on it.

Thanks for the recommendation. That makes sense. Would rubber grommets neutralize the grounding effect through the entirety of the frame? Or is the box and rubber enough?

Hey all! First off, this form and community has been amazing. Thanks for all the amazing info and help on my builds. I have two questions; First, I have read that mounting the rectifier directly to the frame and with enough air flow is ideal. I was hoping to mount it inside my steel...

Haha. Thank you for the reply. I figured this to be the case. I’ll post more when I hit that LSR

I am at the point in my dirt tracker build where I am fitting tanks. I found this Honda XL250 high tunnel tank in decent shape for $60 and hope to run duel fuel lines off it. The petcock I found has two 1/4” lines off of it but I am worried the 650 engine may outpace the supply. I have no...

Thank you! I was hoping so. Just frustrated. This group has been amazing. Definitely has driven my passion for these bikes.

I fucked up. Can’t believe I did it but I did. I broke one of the plate fins off my clutch basket while rebuilding my ‘75 bottom end. I am looking for a replacement and wondering if all years fit or if there may be a difference in clutch basket years. Any help is appreciated. Thanks to all. I’m...

Hey all, I’m interested in picking up a Mr Lucky’s rear sprocket in either a 34t or 32t to run a HD rear wheel on my XS650. Anyone holding onto any? If not I’ll have to custom order from Rebel Gears. Thanks
