Hi experts,
I have decided to refurbish my rear brake master cylinder. However, having removed the awkwardly stuck circlip, I can't get inside it.
As you can see from the picture below, the circlip is out. I’m guessing (from the exploded parts diagram) that the 'this bit' marked in the picture should ease out (under pressure from the spring behind it?) and is only held in place by the circlip. However, it's not moving after some very gentle persuasion and WD40 soaking.
Any hints or tips on how to progress or explanations about what I’m doing wrong?
Thank you,
D.

Hi all,
It's been a while...
I have noticed a very small pool of brake fluid underneath the 750's brake pedal when parked up in my garage (coz I ain't going far in UK winter!) .
I suspect it's from the master cylinder that probably needs a refit of plunger rubbers, etc. It might simply be the jubilee connectors from the hose.
As you can tell, I haven't yet started to strip any parts to take a proper look, but it occurred to me that some of the experts on this forum may have experience and tips where to look first, what not to touch, etc.
Any thoughts much appreciated as always.
Cheers,
D.

Here here to the 'welcome and good luck' sentiments. Loads of help on here about the tiniest details... and often with missing parts at VERY reasonable prices from people who have shared your pain! Enjoy the (off road) journey.
Cheers, D.

Here here to those sentiments. We should all have 2 and a bit bikes for reference... like that idea!
Cheers, D.

Hi Mick,
I know little about Goldwings except, like others, I always liked the originals. Only just caught up with this thread and laughed out loud when I read you started it and it was loud... not something I've ever associated before with a 'Wing!
Keep at it and good luck with the resto.
Cheers, D.

Hi Charlie,
If I had room in my garage, which I don't, I would offer to look after it for you so that it had an occasional run out whilst you're travelling. Better than greasing and ignoring in my humble opinion.
Maybe someone on this forum can offer just such a mutually agreeable service to you?
Just a thought,
D.

Indeed, for £6.99 a pop they're almost disposables (or at least re-usables)!
Cheers, D.

I looked at those but didn't take the plunge. Be great to hear how you get on with it.

As our expert readers will know, the Phil Read Replica came with no mirrors or indicators. However, being a standard 750 F2 underneath, it was always ready to receive them (albeit there's no chance of fitting handlebar mirrors in the usual place).
I have introduced both to my bike without cutting any holes - which for me is important in terms of keeping the bike as original as possible.
The mirrors are a must. I bought a pair of pedal bike bar-end mirrors from Halfords (£6.99 each). Having cut off the bit that goes in the handlebar (at an angle), I could then use a longer bolt to fasten it to the windscreen in place of the plastic nut/washer. See pics.
Not only do they work fine (without any vibration nor struggling against wind) they can be folded flat out of the way if necessary.
Part 1 of this story (fitting LED indicators is on my previous thread "LED Indicators (anyone fitted them?)" in March this year. The post-script to that story is my MOT garage man loved them!
Hope that's useful to someone.
Cheers, D.
