Put and lower bid on a set of blue dot calipers -- and damn it ...won. Now I need to find the matching Master.... or not as I understand they will work without the 14mm from some of the posts.
Maybe I will have them on in time for WCR...

Do yourself a favor and get the right master cylinder.
Mine came from an 2004 FZ6.
By using this you avoid the urine cup and gain a real nice adjustable lever.

Now you remember we had a discussion about these. You knew you needed to get a FJR or equivalent MS for this set up. But I know that I need to a set of these as well. SOON!!!! :crazy:
Again, great ride with you the other day. Want to hook up again and do it all over. S W E E T !!! :good2:

FZ1 master cylinder will work also.
KOokaloo!
OK on the MC --- I am waiting on the seller to see if he has one from the bike I am getting the calipers from ....if not this one didnt sell so I will contact them -- I dont think the link will work as the auction ended but the description is from a 01 Yamaha Fazer FZS1000 FZ1 FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER.... so should be good the pic looks the similar as far as I can tell from the shot

thanks all
Blue dot caliper upgrade complete - test ride went well. Thanks to CraigO for the tips on bleeding. I had installed all the parts on Wednesday but had no luck with the bleeding. Completed the task today with better results. I replaced all the crush washers per Craig and purchased a bleeder helper as well. All helped but I think I got the most air out by just pushing back on the caliper pistons. It blew a lot of bubbles back through and up the master. After that I slowly began getting pressure until done.
I like the adjustment on the lever as for the feel of the brakes I will have to wait and see. I don't seem to stop any faster but I think I get more immediate action and better feel but I really only went on a short ride.
thanks for all the postings as well
Steve
Steve,
You are welcome and glad I could help. I got the crush washer tip from Pat, but the "pushing the air back up through the master by pumping the pucks in the caliper" trick is something I learned by bleeding the clutch. The bleeder tool I picked up to do the rear brake on my GSXR wheel mod. Worked great for me.
Wish I could find some time to do my brakes. They just sit in a box by the bike mocking me.
Ride Tuesday? North county/Palomar or do you want to do the 94 to Buckman Springs, over the Sunrise Hwy route? Maybe I should just stay home and do the brakes??? NAW!!! I get one day every other week to ride. The OEMs will just have to do it for now.
Cya,
CraigO
