Announcements / Re: Master Cylinder
« on: August 25, 2022, 09:10:25 AM »
Thanks, that would be great, it would be interesting to see where the extra 5mm of length is, if it's the end that contacts the brake lever then it would foul the lever and wouldn't fit, if the 5mm extra length is inside the cylinder is there enough room for it to work properly or would it just compress the spring more. After what you said about the wrong parts being fitted these are just thoughts going through my head but thanks anyway for your input.

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.

Announcements / Master Cylinder

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.

I have a cable tie around my choke lever to stop this boot problem, it goes under the float bowl drain screw and around, works a treat. Nothing more embarrassing than the engine going flat just when you need it.

just seen the posts on the tank trim. I'm looking for some for my 500/Four. I'v seen some on ebay for £24.99 but don't know how good it is. Who's Julie that some of you mention? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi, can anyone tell me the dimensions that the front number plate should be for a CB500/Four K1 1972, also are the fixing brackets available anywhere or do I need to make my own?
