Does this look too sketchy to buy? Looking for a new master cylinder, would love to not have to offer my firstborn for it...

The cylinders are even cutted on a CNC machine!

Might be a good deal....How do you rebuild it? Its gonna need wear parts sooner or later....

Levers, fitment, replacement parts, like said earlier it will need to be rebuilt sooner or later.
Rebuild kit for stock isn't much money, other upgrades also available cheap.

Good question. The guy claims that the parts are available separately for replacement/repair. Probably with a large shipping cost...

No problem with my stock master...Upgraded to gold dot brakes and was looking to upgrade the master as well (as per the advice of others on the forum).

Might just have to bite the bullet and buy a used R1/R6 master.

Any other thoughts on danmoto?

  They may be OK but are you willing to risk your life to find out? When it comes to brakes don't take any chances. That's my attitude, anyway.   :negative:   Regards, Pete.
