Master Cylinder ID

[Guest]

Can anyone ID the source of this front master cylinder? I need the other half of the handle bar bracket, and it is most certainly not the OEM MC from my GS450ET.

Hallmarks are a side fluid window, 2 screw cover plate, 5/8 piston, and the off-centered screw holes for the handle bar bracket.

It's a Nissin m/c. They're fitted as original on several makes, and also sell to the aftermarket.

Lots of them here, although not the one you have: http://japan.webike.net/bm/brd/Brake...SSIN/1014/508/

Dime City Cycles stock them - maybe they could help: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintag...-717-654e.html

Yea, any NISSIN brand MC for the correct sized handlebars should fit the bottom half of the bracket you're seeking.

Kawasaki master cylinder from the late 80s-90s.

Quite distinctive.

Might be ZXR600, ZXR750 - something like that. Should be easy to find the clamp.

On a somewhat related note, a 5/8" m/c is probably not the best choice for a single caliper disc brake set-up. Much better to go with a 14mm diam. m/c.

Just saying, in case you're interested.

92 ZX6 master cylinder.

Yep - Kawasaki had those off centre bolts on their MC clamps while Mr Suzuki and the other guys had their bolts centred.
