Brake lines
Lefty:
You can see the rust spot on the disc where it was eaten into, probably from the PO waiting too long to replace the pads.
Luke:
That SS line is Sexy! :)
Slyphon:
$29. That's a hell of a deal. Can't find them for less than $50 online. I'll certainly be going to a local shop for my lines. Yours came out nice too.
Lefty:
An update, I got it all back together with a rebuild on the master, and I'm not getting any pressure when I press the pedal. I took the cylinder apart,thinking I might have done something wrong, but it was correct. I put it all back together & tried again, still no pressure.
I even re-installed the old internals, which worked before, still nothing.
I did use a dremel with a wire brush tip on the bore just to smooth it out, but I can't imagine that could have done any kind of damage.do any of you know of another bike the rear master will work on the FT?
Slyphon:
I haven't tested the theory. But I think a Hurricane CBR600 may work. The bolts line up, I believe the Master Cylinders are approximately the same size. I can measure the two pistons when I get home as well.
It uses a different thread size bolt though (The CBR is smaller) so you might have to get a little creative with mounting. I've seen Hurricane Rear Masters on eBay for $20. I also have one, but it doesn't have any of the inner parts.
The only way I would think your Master Cylinder could be bad is if you increased the size of the bored. Question, did you clean the 90 degree plastic part that attaches to the cylinder? When I tore my master cylinder apart, that thing was entirely blocked.
