Radial masters finally installed

[Diablotin]

just surprised it's happening after a master change. I will bleed the clutch tomorrow again and see.

+1 sounds like clutch slipping. take it up in top gear and from a cruise wack it wot, does it just go or spool up a little then start to pull....would be leading to slippage

 

[tugla]

or maybe not fully engaged due to lever hanging up a little, pin a little log and keeping pressure on the master which is not letting it fully release for a sec? maybe?

THAT makes more sense.

 

[Diablotin]

I will check that tomorrow. I will make sure there is no air in the system and the lever is properly sitting. Just hope it's not a clutch issue which just appeared in the same time.
Let's be positive lol

Michael, with your searching what have been typically good prices for masters? I might just pick those up if they are a good price and do levers/res later and keep searching..

also what is the distance from the grip edge of the master cylinder to the end of the shorty levers?

 

[Diablotin]

I will say around 60$.

I got my set for 110$ but without levers and reservoirs. Everything else was almost good as new. The difficult part for me was to have it ship to the Philippines at a good price.
For sure it will be easier for you.

Keep in mind a brand new master with lever and reservoir will only cost 140$ + 30$ for shipping (hassle free).

So you might not want to exceed 60-70 if you plan to get nice levers and reservoirs.

I've paid 150$ per 2 masters with good levers and good reserviors about a year ago. Of course on ebay.

I will be machining some nice reserviors for those masters.
Im sick of those plastic ugly conteneirs!
Stay tuned.

Just right after I will finish my custom steering damper.

 

[gamorg02]

will they look like the ones michael provided above?

 

[satariel666]

Something like that.
But as always, I have mine own concept!

 

[gamorg02]

i'm sure it'll be sweet....

 

[Diablotin]

I look forward too

The plastic reservoirs make it look kinda cheap, IMHO.

I have some in production right now for Nissins. They would look awesome!
