Master Cylinder

(1/2) > >>

Kev:
I'm trying to identify the master cylinder shown in the pictures, it was put on my 500/four when it had the twin disk conversion many years ago, I didn't do the conversion, it is embossed  2   T   1   5/8,  I know the 5/8 refers to the bore and piston size but I have spoken to a number of the classic bike suppliers to no avail. The piston is 5/8" dia. x 49/49.5mm long. I'm trying to locate a repair kit for this master cylinder but suppliers have all the sizes except this one.

Oddjob:
Looks like a GL1000 Master.

Bryanj:
Later Gl 1000 with the clear reservoir, if so should have a brakelight micro switch

Kev:
Yes it does have the micro switch underneath. All the repair kits that I have found are either a different diameter or a different length, mine is 5/8" (15.8/15.9mm) dia. x 49/49.5mm long, it seems to be a one off.

Oddjob:
It looks to be a standard GL1000 cylinder Kev. Surely a repair kit is available for one of those.
