Is this master cylinder original or reproduction

(1/4) > >>

Craizeehair:
Would anybody be able to tell me if this is genuine or perhaps original to the bike? I recently bought my old K7 back after a few years, the last owner had fitted an aftermarket master cylinder but the rubber bushing and retaining plate that sit underneath are missing, so there is a load of free play on the lever.

I messaged the guy and he said that he still had the one that he took off and has kindly posted it to me.

I’m hoping to confirm that it is original so I can go ahead and refurbish it and fit back on the bike, this one doesn’t have the retaining plate like I have seen on others, I am going to strip it down soon but if it’s an aftermarket part like the one on the bike now, it probably doesn’t make sense to refurb and fit this one.

Thanks in advance

Thank you, much appreciated.

I shall set about stripping, cleaning and fitting the refurb kit. I’m very happy about that.

That retaining plate and bushing was missing from mine too a little while back but resourced from CMS no problem.

Don't try to repaint the body, I understand it is some kind of anodised finish and is one way to tell the original from a repro, genuine have a mauve type finish as yours has. If you try and paint it the new paint will flake off over time but don't ask me how I know this  ::)
