#444823 brotherkram (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Rear brake master cylinder 5 Months, 1 Week ago   I was reading in the tech articles about using a sportster master brake cylinder for replacement on the roadstar and i was wondering if the 58-79 shovelhead wagner type would work? I put the link below .......I am concerned with the capacity ...Has anyone ever used one of this style? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHROME-REAR-BRAKE-MASTER-CYLINDER-HARLEY-58-79-SHOVELHEAD-WAGNER-LOCKEED-TYP-/320808236025?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4ab1a933f Thanks, Mark   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #444825 EddieDe (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 229 Re:Rear brake master cylinder 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Mark, That looks like it's a master cylinder only, if so you would need a seperate reservoir for it or you would need to adapt and re-use the stock one.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #444841 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:Rear brake master cylinder 5 Months, 1 Week ago   It is a nice looking piece, the capacity is not as important because as long as the system is full all the time. I would say the reservoir is built into the one you are looking at It is the bore that has to be right for the pressure; in the tech article here on the site the Harley master has a 3/4 in bore. That is what you need to find out about the one on eBay   Logged     JGR   The administrator has disabled public write access. #444850 Wrongkind (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 112 Re:Rear brake master cylinder 5 Months, 1 Week ago   That is the whole brake...res and all, I had one on my shovelhead , I believe this one is for a mechanical brake....don't hold me to it but I think I rod goes in that rubber boot   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/12/18 20:08 By Wrongkind.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #444851 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Rich Problem with that master cylinder is the cost! That's why I used the one I did when I wrote up the article.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #444988 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

There are other options. Here's a similar one on Ebay now that's close to the same thing, but <$55.00 Link to rear master cylinder auction] With a wired banjo to set off the brake light, it's not too bad of an install.

I still need to learn how to weld so the $135 bolt on option is looking attractive but $55 is nicer   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #445123 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:Rear brake master cylinder 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Sweet ride Rich!!! i was looking on your album;what kind of seat is that and is it comfortable?
