    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...

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.

Smaller Front Brake Lever Master Cylinder?

Is there a smaller front brake/master cylinder assembly I can use on my 77 gs750?

I'd like to chop off an inch or two off the handle bars as I find them a bit too wide, but need the front brake assembly to be a bit smaller in size
but compatible for the bike.

Any ideas?

Dave
 
There should be a bore size stamped somewhere on the MC body (14mm, 7/8, etc). If you replace the MC with another of the same bore than you can run whatever style you like.
 
Guys on the ZRX1200 forum like to use EX500 master cylinders. Not sure if they are smaller in physical size. Most brake systems use 5/8" bores and are normally stamped. The guys in the ZRX forum like 1/2" bores used on EX's as they claim they have better initial feel and squeeze harder. check them over as some years have 5/8 bores also. You can use any master cyl. I am using Triumph ones on my 1100E,cause I like the feel and I have plenty of levers
