[Arronduke]

just read this post again... start to finish in the right order.
Enjoyed it... did not realise I had read it before.

Good thing is I just purchased a GSX1100E 83. 33k

looking forward to the update.

I'm back working on this and have a few questions. I don't want to make another thread for these questions. I'm going to hone the cylinders and have researched the hones and what people here have used. I've read that it should be a 320gr Ball hone to what ever size my cylinders are. My pistons are stock 1100 so I'm guessing it should be a 74mm ball hone. Can I use cheap oil when doing the honing or is there a type I should use?

I'm also not having any luck bleeding my front master cylinder after rebuilding it. When I put brake fluid and pump it; it just bubbles to the top. It doesn't seem like any fluid and going into the line. I'm thinking about buying a newer master cylinder but not sure what's a good one to buy. I remember Jwhelan putting in one of his threads what he went to but I can't find it. I'll be going to a 1993gsxr front in the coming years as I already have the forks, just need to buy the wheels and brakes. Already have a gsf1200 swing are also but that will wait.

Thanks for the help guys
