Whether to overhaul or replace\u2014there are so many things to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If parts for overhaul were readily available, that would be great, but…
The reality is that not all parts are supplied (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, for the master, I’ll use something else. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“STD master bore 5\/8” <\/strong>so I worked backwards from there and then chose based on design.
Honda “45510-MFK-C01” <\/strong>I believe it was from a CB400SF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The master itself has rounded lines and mirror mounts too.
I think it looks nice and understated. It was around 12,000 yen, I think (lever sold separately). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I just ordered the standard master lever… it would be “not quite right” <\/strong>in design, so
I chose the “current” <\/strong>one instead.
From a CB1100 SC65. Well, I had mine right in front of me anyway…
“Lever adjustment” can be done much more finely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I think, what am I doing…
I wonder if this helps anyone… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bit hard to see, but it’s 5\/8, so rest assured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wanted mesh hose, but “getting it running is the priority” <\/strong>so I’m proposing a “reservoir plan.” <\/strong>We’ll go with reproduction rubber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The master is a bit short…
Should I make it dual to work around it… It’s not as straightforward as I thought. <\/p>\n\n\n
