Corrosion on brake cylinders

<< < (3/3)

SteveD CB500K0:
500/4 was 38mm

Bryanj:
38mm diameter by 35mm tall, by the way 1 1/2 inch is 38mm

Doc.:
I'd replace them, as you have them apart.
There's no way that sort of minor defect would cause Brake failure, but they will only get worse over time.

I've just made some new Aluminium ones for my VFR400R . . .

I'd take one along to a machine shop and ask how much to replicate them in Stainless, it may not be too much at all, as it's a very simple job on a Lathe.

Trigger:
PM sent ;)
