Topic: Having Fun with a Honda CB550 Master Cylinder

80, 220, 400, 600

Brake lever was only lightly polished

Success with the front brake 

Excellent pressure with the rebuilt master cylinder.  New piston and piston seal in the caliper working correctly

Took a little time to adjust the brake caliper mount bracket but finally got it set correctly. No movement in the bracket -  solid and tight with no play

Rotor is good - no pulsating or vibrating

Excellent lever response, brake grabs immediately and evenly, and releases smoothly with no drag

That looks great. Did you clear coat?

Sanded and light polish with autosol to try to seal the aluminum.   I don't think paint or clear coat would hold up around brake fluid.  I understand there is special paint for brake calipers but I have not seen it for sale here in Thailand.

I don't think many paints hold up to brake fluid, that's probably why they anodized them originally
