    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know there are about a million threads on this, but I have just about read my way into confusion on this.... If I want to replace the old stock MC on my 77 gs550 rebuild with a new smaller/custom one, what exactly am I looking at compatibility-wise?
I believe my Banjo is 10MM with a 1.00 pitch. I think....
Now, I am not sure what else I am looking for to make sure it will work...
Piston diameter says 13.94 - 13.96
Bore 13.9 - 14.043

Sorry if this has been covered already. I have just been looking for a few days now and only finding myself deeper in confusion.

thanks guys!
 
You want to get another master with the 14mm bore. There's one bore for single caliper and another for dual caliper, but I can't remember which is which right now.

Your banjo should be 10mm dia. Thread pitch only matters if you really care about not replacing the banjo bolt (which, if you're replacing the master, presumably you are not). Most masters use 10x1.25 IIRC. The old Suzuki 10x1.0 was the odd-ball.
