Master Cylinder swap

[jcorney]

Does anyone see any reason why this master cylinder would not work on my '77 xs400D?

My bike sat for 30 years and the brakes are completly shot. I am rebuilding the stock calipers and already bought new braided stainless steel brake lines. This seems like a good deal.

I found an even cheaper one, but I don't know if it would work. What I am wondering is how universal the brake line/banjo bolt fittings are.

it looks like its for the dohc bikes as the SRX6 has dual disks up front.

That one will work well. It has a bit smaller bore size 12.7 mm, which will make the brake a bit stronger than the stock 14 mm bore. As far as the port the line hooks to most bikes use a 10 mm x 1.25 thread. Pretty much standard.
Most of those M/C's are Chinese built and have the 12.7 bore. Works ok for most brakes, from about whatthey were to slightly better brakes.
I have one almost just like that on my bike. Mines just black and has a level reservoir instead of sloped.
The sloped reservoir is for high handle bars like the Specials have. The level reservoir is for lower flatter bars.

Hey I wanted to know how it worked out for you

I actually went to my local dismantler and got a used stock part. I will post pics of my complete restore at some point. I need to load them to photo bucket or something. Thanks!
