    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Smaller rear master cylinder?

I'm still working on my '82 GS1100G. One of the things I want to do is get rid of the side covers to make the bike look more open and minimal - already I have relocated most of the stuff that goes under the seat area so all that you can really see under the seat is the battery, in it's nice new box.

But the rear brake master cylinder on this bike sticks up into this space like a relic from the steam age. Does anyone know of a more compact master cylinder arrangement I could use?

I know this is a bit of an odd question and I realise that not everyone will share my taste, but I really like this look! Thanks!
 
You could use any modern small reservoir. You'll just have to check the hose fits, or do a mod to make it fit.
 
Thanks. I'll have to check some out. It's difficult to find what they all look like though - motorcycle repair shops generally don't have them on display!
