After much fucking around with 3 different master cylinders , I finally caved and just bought a new one .

This is the one they sent me , pebbly finish instead of polished , new chrome cap . . . and it works great . Nice to finally get the bike back on the road after trying to hone and rebuild and mess with all that junk for so long . I've always been that guy though . I think it's more fun to take something that's old & broken and make it new and working again . Buying something new to replace something that can be rebuilt of fixed is a cop out . . . yeah right . Not this time !

Saddly in this case it was just taking to damn long to work it out and for $60 all my troubles were handled and it took 10 minutes to fix and another 15 to bleed by myself ( 10 of that time was me cleaning up the brake fluid that was all over everything , after the fact ) . I have this little bottle with a hose that I use for bleeding and the little hose decided to give it up on me this time , so I had to just go au natural . Works , but very messy .

So here it is , all new and fancy and I can stop again . . . isn't she pretty !
