Project 700ES

Front master cylinder

I decided to scrap the original front master and replace it with one I had from a 94 GSXR 1100. The GSXR is tapered for clip-ons so it sits perfectly on the ES . The only issue I see is trying to mesh the 94 brake light connector with the 85. Solder maybe? Any ideas?



below are the two connectors...

I think you need to adjust your chain.

Oh man! I really had to laugh at this.

Looks nice so far.

I believe it is (1928fordtudor) we have spoke a few times, looking forward to it.

That's him. Your memory is better than mine.

Will do. There's someone from here in San Antonio that wanted to meet up with us too. Just have to remember who it was.

Wow! Very nice, Joe. Looks super clean. I really like it.

You guys say a weekend and I'll try and get up there to ride as well. My sister has been harping on me to come up and visit so I'll do that and bring the bike.

Sounds like a plan Billy, its been almost 90 days since the crash, I am so ready to fire this thing up!!

Nice color on the calipers. Are they metallic? Kind of hard to tell in the pic.

They are metallic gray, the lighting was not very good in the pic

Tore down the right front caliper, looked pretty good no pitting at all on the piston or the cylinder. Just cleaned them up real good, greased the pins and put them back on. Leaving them black.

That long already, it seems like it was just a month ago. I guess for you it seems like ages.

The caliper looks great like that Joe. We need to go riding when you get done.

Been trying all week to remove the screws from the lid of the front master cylinder without stripping them. Anyone have any suggestions other than buying a new one.

Put some valve grinding compound into the head of the screw before putting your screwdriver in. The compound will help the screwdriver "bite".
