Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit
« on: July 15, 2006, 03:12:36 PM »
Anyone having info on the location or availability of CB500 (K1) master cylinder rebuild kit would be appreciated.  I've searched a few places to no avail.

Thanks!

I bought mine from Z1 Enterprises. http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=2653 It returned my master cylinder to specification, and Z1 is a first class operation.

Having said that, SOHC master cylinders are pieces of crap, IMO, and rebuilding them is a real pain. Do a search for "master cylinder circlip" for details. I am never rebuilding another one becasue the results just aren't worth it. For the price of the rebuild kit you can find a used master from a modern bike and be far ahead of the game.

IMHO, as always.
