Replica brake master any good?

<< < (2/3) > >>

JamesH:
I've used the DSS part on several projects and functionally they are excellent. Cosmetic finish is not particularly close to honda OEM but for the price, great value IMHO. James

Chris400F:
I rebuilt my M/C with a pattern rebuild kit from DSS.
I don't know whether the same company makes the kits and replacement cylinders but logically they would use the same components for both if that was the case.
Not that I think I would be planning a rebuild if I was buying a new pattern part, hopefully it would last a good few years.

As for the milky white reservoir tank, did any Honda models of this era have these as original fitment?
I don't know when this type of reservoir was first fitted.

I too would be interested in this, as I found both types on the vintage SOHCs...
The '76 K2 I'm currently working on has a full/solid aluminium reservoir, the whole thing anodized in gun silver...
The '72 K1(?) aside it has an early aftermarket, with a white tank insert...
And the other K2 (just frame, front end, wheels and engine) again has a genuine looking 2-piece brake master, in gun metal with the milky white tank...

Bryanj:
All masters I know of were originally black but faded to silver and the first see through reservoir was on the GL1000 and F2 I think

Dug a bit further and I think that the 2-piece design is from the late 550ies (K3 on), can anyone please confirm or correct this?
