is it possible to fit a front master cyclinder with a bigger piston that will match up to to the oppisite half of the starter switch block on a 80 lowrider. if so . off what bike would fit thanks

 

Never seen a clutch side master for button controls but later switch housings they use them for custom apps

3/4 is the largest

 

do kevlar make brake pads for harleys.im after soft organic front pads for my twin disc fx. if not what brand would sell them.thanks

 

If you plan on actually stopping - you want HH EBC pads OR SBS sintered material - we throw the soft pads away as soon as i see the customer has brought them he can dig in the garbage for them most dont some do if they do we throw them and the bike out -

clearly they have no clue to even be a customer

 

thanks john.i dont know whats in there now but they could be the original pads from new. ive never changed them in 37 yrs. there not worn out but dont do much if stopped on a hill the bike will want to roll back with the front brakes on

 

Those brakes sucked the day the bike was built

 

what would you do john is there a later model caliper i could use

 

I know you said you wanted to keep your buttons, but if you change to the newer SMALLER master cylinder and matching switches, you'll have a lot more stopping power. I can howl the front tire on mine.

 

The master you have now is 3/4 inch - the one joe showed is available in 5/8 11/16 and 3/4 inch sizes - i dont know what one joe is using

and you need to convert to dot 5 fluid

 

i use dot 5. a mate said i need a smaller master cyc . a bigger one will make it worse. what model did the later style start . so what was said i cant use the buttons ?
