'New' brake master cylinder.


I was lucky to find this old Yamaha XS/FZ 600.. Something... At 18$ It was worth a try.. It did'nt look too good though, inside it was completely dry, so it must have been laying around for years. But everything seems to be working. It will be polished, and the 'Yamaha' will be removed from the resovoir plate. The fluid level indicater hole will also be closed with some TIG welding.

The piston size in this brake cylinder is 5/8" or 16mm. Same as the original GT750 brake master. But this Yamaha has the banjo bolt on the front, not the end as the GT 750 one, wich makes it short enough the fit on my clip on's.
