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.

The master cylinder for my 85 750 EF was a bit beat up before,after my last spill I'd rather get a replacement

Looking on eBay I found 2 sets that come with clutch lever assemblies.

These look a bit more like earlier Suzuki units but should look OK on the EF.

These look somewhat closer to the EF's square MC but more modern.Like the idea of adjustable levers.The 17mm bore size and mirror mounts say these are better suited to street than the advertised dirt bikes.
Trying to decide which I like better.
If I wanted/needed 14 MM MC's there are loads of them:(

No feedback at all?I know there's some personal taste involved.Starting to wonder to if even though both say 17mm bore/piston size they might be 14mm or even smaller.Set # 2 is especially worrying me the way fitment's listed:-k
 
I'd look for something with a 5/8" bore (or the metric equal).
 
The metric equivalent is 16mm or there about.If the 750 had stock calipers I might be a bit more worried about going to a 17 mm MC but there's a set of opposed piston 550 calipers on it.Don't get me started on how Suzuki ads said the 750 was supposed to get them or that the 550 had them:distress:I am thinking the 17 MAY be a better match.BTW it's even harder to find a 16mm-5/8th bore MC:(

I have many Suzuki masters. All non crashed. $10+shipping. I believe I have a Triumph master 5/8 bore. Pm me if you want me to check
 
I had a DUH moment when I remembered this

was sitting in my shed.It's a 6000 Kat MC,looks like problem solved for $0:encouragement:
