DONT BUY

But who knows if they are as **** about bleeding as I am. But like they said before. You aren't getting the same quality. As for how they work, mine is 100% ALL the time. With no brake fade. But if you have the cash, get the real thing.

On the other hand, I have a friend (kingnap) who has been running one for over a year and it still works, but it still doesnt have the feel of the real brembo, I would go with a 16x18, I know they feel good, I havent felt the other.

if your on a budget, buy an 05/06 636 radial front master, used.

Re: ebay master cylinder ???..hmmmm?

pick up a used radial off a OEM bike


depending on who you buy it from, you should be able to pick one up from $60-$120

Re: ebay master cylinder ???..hmmmm?

Sometimes you may get a good one. i bought one and it had casting material inside the piston and scarred it all up inside and it just did not work and leaked. Friend of mine bought one and he has had it for two years now and swears by it. Luck of the draw I guess. I wouldn't suggest it but its your money

Re: ebay master cylinder ???..hmmmm?

I might buy one to make a handbrake out of it for my fiddy. That would be a nice setup on my fiddy but i wouldnt run that **** on my f4i. Last thing you want is going cheap on a master and crashing cause of it and now you need a new master and alot of bike parts and maybe hospital bills.
