Last time I looked at the Tarozzi set they came with a clamp bracket that fitted the rear exhaust hanger / main frame downtube. But I think this may be specific for the K0-K6 models and possibly not compatible with the F frane configuration..?

On a whim I bought this master cylinder on Ebay as was so cheap at £6.25 inc postage from China and was curious!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251641725990?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT



Paid for it on 24/12 and arrived today!

Doesnt give bore size in spec, but will dismantle to check.

Quality doesnt look obviously bad, but cant fully assess materiels used.

It is probably not robust enough to use on a bigger bike, especially with m6 mounting points, but there is a remote chance it could be adapted  :P

I know what I would tell anyone who asked me if it would be suitable  :-[

Maybe I could use the reservoir  ;)

Is that 'PERFORMANCE HOUSE' I see down the side of your leathers in the background James?

Thats awesome thanks Martin. Trying to work out the correct mastery cyl diameter for the twin Grimeca's on the Harley...this helps a lot...

Glad it helps.

The relationship between sizes is sometimes counter intuitive, I had a Norton Commando for almost 30 years, originally they put on a larger bore master cylinder as they didnt want people locking front brake.

Later owners sleeved cylinder down  to get improved feel and braking.

Obviously with rear sets the leverage changes with the distance force applied from pivots (fulcrum)

I knew they taught me all about it at Technical College for a reason, just didnt realise at the time  ::)

Has anyone tried converting an F1 seat to cafe racer style?

Here is the newly powder coated seat pan and painted cowl.

Im thinking of getting an adapted cushion/seat cover with raised rear section and single seat area of about 350mm?

The advantage is no cutting of original frame and retain hinged seat with storage compartment.
