Master Cylinder options (Panhead)

[04Nighttrain]

The linkage went through 3 or revisions because I was over thinking it.
Measuring the full travel of the master cylinder and the brake lever, I found them to be pretty much the same so I wound up just using 1 to 1 ratio. I made a T piece and the brake cable and master attach to the ends of the top and the bottom of the T is the pivot.


I wanted clean bars so I chose this lever setup...


This is how it looks from the front

use one with a remote reservoir, easy to hide... a universal one or like this one that fits a zx6:

I’m definitely going with your suggestion. My friend has a Jesse James build that used it up at the foot controls and I want to copy it. (I attached a pic) Any idea what brand Cylinder is the best quality? Thanks again!

I'm in Central FL. I got a used crotch rocket master cylinder w/reservoir from http://www.fallencycles.com for about $15 and then a rebuild kit (just to be safe)... way cheaper than new. Works great for my application.

I think the idea of using a mc with remote reservoir is to hide it...I think you can make yours better than that 'JJ' version...you already have a rod that attaches to the brake pedal...add a mc like this at the other end of your brake rod, tuck away the remote reservoir, done...better than that bought 'JJ'.
