Help me get my '84 VF700F back on the road (Master Cylinder...)

Hey guys-- this is my first post here-

I have had an 1984 VF700F for the past ten years, and I haven't found another bike that I like as much (I've ridded supermotos, CBR's, mopeds, the lot...).

Anyway, I layed it down in '99 and busted up the master cylinder. I got a new one from a junkyard, and went to rebuild it last month.

Well, the rebuild kit piston was a bigger bore than the cylinder in the master cylinder--Maybe I had a MC from a single-disk bike all those years-- no wonder the lever was worryingly squishy. I was 17 at the time, and had no way of checking the bore diameter-- i just figured i bled the system poorly.

Well I'm older and wiser now, and am trying to get this set up perfectly--

Does anyone have an old 1984 VF700F master cylinder laying around (or the same thing that was cross-specced on another bike)? I'd like it to be in nice shape, but rebuildable condition is fine, since I have the rebuild kit on my desk at the moment.

Thanks so much, I can't wait to get this thing back on the road.

 

do you have the twin disc set up?

I have the whole set up top down to the bottom...its off of an 86 700 maybe its the same?check it oput and give me the numbers we'll see if it matches.

Hmm- it is a twin disk, and the two master cylinders take the same rebuild kit, so presumably they are similar or the same functionally, but it is a different design. I'll keep you in mind if nothing else comes up.

thanks!

I've got the entire brake system from top to bottom from my '85 VF700F. Works great too! e-mail me at mmsv45 "at" yahoo.com
