The CUP (hollow side) of the seal should face the fluid.  That's so fluid pressure can get into the cup and force the outside edge onto the face of the cylinder bore to keep it sealed.

Did you polish the bore and remove ALL corrosion?  Was there any corrosion?  Did you remove ALL corrosion/rust from the groove in the Piston?

You might also want to rebuild the master cylinder sometime soon.  At least inspect it to make sure it's not leaking too.

89 FJ1200 saphire.blu owned 8-9 years.  By far the most satisfying of them all. Constant tinkering got me the best bike you could ever want.

Nope you learned something about your bike, thats not being a dumb ass.. Some of the best things we learn in life are the things we teach ourselves. Well done...
