Bobber guys - what are you doing for master cylinder?

[MUCHADO]

I'm running apes on my bobber build and the stock MC is just too bulky... Any suggestions for what front master cylinder I should look for to run? Experiences? Any help is appreciated.

13mm for single caliper setup , 16mm for duals.

Buy one for a banshee, raptor, blaster or similar. I have one from a newer 350 raptor and it has the brake light switch on it

I bought this one off eBay pretty cheap looks the same as the one mike is selling

Nice find!I think I paid around $20 for my raptor master cylinder but it was silver so I had to paint it black

Downer now that is a steal!!!! I just ordered one myself Its worth a shot. I have a stock angled type MC that sits unlevel on my drag bars.

have you seen this setup http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1285.

That set up is nice but you need a radial master cylinder for that. They are kinda expensive

i got one of the '04 Raptor master cylinders, $25.00 bucks on Ebay and 4 days to my door.

I got mine from http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/iwannebuy/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

Iwannebuy

The first set arrived really scratched up all over with a nick in the lever. I asked him for a new one and he sent a new one while letting me keep the first one. Second one was better but still has the exact same nick in the lever...might be a bad batch issue. Overall I'm happy...I got two master cylinders for $24. All I gotta do know is find a replacement lever for cheap.

That iwannabuy is the same people I posted up I think mikesxs has the lever to fit it don't know the cost or if it does fit but by there picture it looks similar and the master cylinders look the same to match that lever. Part #08-0430

So do any of you guys know of a 16mm that would work with flat bars? Don't really want to pay mikes prices.

Thanks!

I assume everyone is running braided brake lines with these different MCs? I'm thinking about swapping my stock MC from my '79 Special to better fit the Z-bars I'm running. Trying to decide whether to go ahead and swap the brake line, too.

SS braided brake likes will almost always improve your brake feel. I run them on my Raider and was really surprised at the difference it makes. I plan on running them on my xs project as well.

Picked up a 05 GSXR600 radial cheap and used a ZX7r clutch reservoir cup I had laying around as it is smaller than the Suzuki stock cup. Had to go radial cause I couldn't fit a solid mount reservoir with my narrow bars. Had to switch my clutch perch as well as the stock one angled the cable right into my risers.

 

[smurph]

And a stainless line from Goodridge. Order the length of line you need and what ever angle fittings you need and it just screws together.

Related yet unrelated question - is anyone running a different clutch lever setup? I'd like something a little smaller/shorter, especially if I'm going for a smaller brake MC. Thanks.
