Title: Yamaha front master
Post by: fuel80guy on September 29, 2013, 12:38:11 PM
Can someone steer me in the right direction to a replacement front master for my 85 fj.
What I'm looking for is a yamaha master that is an upgrade to the original.
I would like to keep it looking original.
Thanks Rob

Here is a master cylinder that may work for you.

I put the FZ1 14mm master on my bike It is a little taller than the stock one but comes with the adjustable lever.

I noticed a huge improvement in the front braking after installing it, of course I also put on larger discs and calipers at the same time.

Travis do you know if I can use my original lever on this material cylinder?
