Master Cylinder Question

[Fritzhund]

Hi All,

I have a question I hope some of the brake guys might have an answer to:

My 1983 GS450L had the original roto-tiller handlebars on it when I started my restoration. I replaced them with a set of Daytona bars purchased from Z-1. The master cylinder is now sitting at a very steep angle compared to the position it had been in. There was a slight angle with the original bars, but this is very steep looking. There are no leaks, and I plan to rebuild the master cylinder, replace the brake line, rebuild the caliper, and replace the pads anyway.

I was just wondering: Is this safe? Will it be prone to leaks?

Thanks, Mark

as long as the gasket is ok it will be fine but it might be a bit difficult to fill and dont get that brake fluid on the paint it will act like stripper

Thanks Steve,

Hey, would anyone have a suggestion as to a replacement master cylinder that would fit on a conversion like this, but would sit level?

Thanks, Mark

Look for one from a non-"L" 450.
