YOU DONT NEED IT. Unless you are moving out to the van and taking all your stuff with you.

True, I need one myself, I have a grotty old VT250 one but a fresh one would definatley be better.
I imagine the Hyos would have a different one to operate twin disks, I'm after one for a single caliper with two pistons. (NSR)

For future reference for FXR, RG150, RGV etc, The standard front master cylinder can be replaced with Honda TRX farm bike set up. Pick one up from any wrecker for about $40!
I reckon it works better than my standard RG150 set up did.

Hmmm... I am going to need something new for my brakes too. I bled the brakes tonight on my FXR150 and they still aren't good enough. I can't use two fingers to pull the bike up fast enough, I have to use at least 3 which sucks. No good for racing I reckon. Crappy FXR brakes. Should come race ready from stock.

As I have learned recently the master cylinder isint every thing. I pulled my disks off and roughned them up with a flapper disk on the grinder (or you could use emery paper by hand) and then gave them a good clean with brake clean and the difference was like night and day.

Might be worth a try and it would be cheaper than replacing the master cylinder

Wouldn't they ride a little bit due to the unevenness of the disc? Or do brake pads return far enough that this doesn't matter?

Na no isse there, my idea was just roughen and clean them up a bit to make them more effective. Hey it seemed to work.

Its all sweet if you are smart about it, being even and all.
I've only ever done it by hand with emry, flapper disk would save about half an hour of work!

Makes perfect sense, and i could see a huge gain in it =). Good thinking.
