Good morning! I have my classic ride giving plenty of go, now we need to work on the whoa. I have the rear brakes tore down, and I need to get new shoes ordered to have that operational.
Then on to front brakes…the sight glass is broke out, and has been for some time. The screws on the cap are very stripped out. I have been examining my options. I figure I just need to plan on getting a new MC. As with all things, I have noticed a pretty sizeable price difference between cheap aftermarket parts and even crusty used Oem. And then there is fit. I am not finding many direct fit options for the 1984. A guy at a local shop said pretty much any mc will work. Is this correct info? In my mind, I see no reason it wouldn’t. I know on cars, a master cylinder for drum brakes won’t work with disc brakes, and vice versa. Is the same true on ATV’s? I imagine I am gonna need to plan on replacing lines. Is there a good source for those lines? Once again, I am finding parts for newer models, but not the 1984, so I am wondering about interchange.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
