    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.

Has anyone tried one of these EBay Master Cylinders?

Yeah that sounds great! The guy who had a Hayabusa MC from a bike with only 7 miles on the clock got back to me, I asked him if it was damaged because in the pic it looked like the reservoir lid was scarred, but he assured me that it is like new, so I'm thinking about it.

My only prob is that there's no mirror mount either, and of course it's designed for "clip on" style bars, so the reservoir will be at an odd angle on my "superbike" bars. Same same for GSXR MC's with remote reservoirs, I had one on my BMW R100RS and it was sensational, the remote reservoir was pretty much hidden under the fairing, so it didn't look odd like it might on my unfaired GS1000. Cheers, Terry.

I've got a 'busa master cylinder on my GS750EF and it works great. The angle is a little off but the only concern is having to turn the bars slightly when I'm changing the fluid. Otherwise it comes very close to spilling. I used the stock back half of my MC mount to retain the mirror mount.

Bandit should be 5/8" too I would think.... Just a guess though.

If you need to get him to ship it to one of us & then us to you it *may* save you something on shipping.

YOu can check it out yourself at www.usps.com all of OZ is the same rate no matter the postcode.

If it's small enough & can go 1st class (under 4lb I think) instead of priority mail then it will be much cheaper.

Thanks mate, I sent him another email today (5 days after I questioned the shipping price) and attached your link, his shipping charge is for shipping me an item that weighs 11 pounds, which I think is probably 9 or 10 pounds more that the MC weighs, ha ha! I'll await his reply.........

Thanks mate, that's what I would have done if I hadn't found the Bandit MC. Cheers, Terry.
 
John, the EBay seller, got back to me today and offered to cut 30 bucks off the shipping, so I Paypalled him right away. Must be a good bloke, after all.
 
Well the 1200 Bandit MC arrived today, and I'm very impressed. It looks almost new, and as a bonus, it came with all the hoses, which I think might just fit on my GS1000S!

I've just hung it on the bars and it doesn't look any bulkier than the GS1000 item, so on the weekend I'll swap them out and report back once I've ridden it. Cheers, Terry.
