Master cylinder for cafe racer bars.

(1/2) > >>

billdn:
I've fitted some café racer bars/ Laverda type to the 400/4 I'm very slowly turning into a café racer but a thought has just struck me that the master cylinder when / if fitted as is would be at quite an angle and could possibly not have enough brake fluid in it if leaning over too far causing an air lock in the system.
Which prompts a couple of questions:-

Has anyone done this without modifying the master cylinder?
Am I worrying unnecessarily?
Are there special master cylinders for such a set up?
Thanks in anticipation.

ace cafe racer:
Mine works so far. ;D

ka-ja:
You can buy a master cyl. with a remote reservoir , but I found a new one with angled reservoir for my twin disc set-up

And - take note, Laverda120 - it's the correct Honda purple color!  ;D

Laverda Dave:
👍, yes that was the colour of mine under the rubber boot. I thought it was anodised but ir rubs off very easily do maybe its another form of coating or paint? Anyway, it's going to be painted with VHT satin black caliper paint and baked in the oven with the spuds and Yorkshire puds!
