Queston for Brake Experts
So, I have RPM forward controls on my bobber. I have found out that they have gone out of business. My rear master cylinder is leaking and needs to be rebuilt. Any one know of a rebuild kit that will work on this? Thanks

Safe bet any standard 5/8" R&R kit will work, usually those aftermarket MC's used off the shelf generic internals. Do a double check on the bore size most rears are 3/4", fronts is were it gets squirrely with bores.

Went to Ace Hardware, got a new o-ring for the plunger and a snap ring to hold everything in place. So far it is holding fluid.
Hope I don't have to buy new forward controls just to fix the brake issue. LOL

That's very neat. As for a gasket, just buy some blank gasket sheet and cut your own. Thick card will probably do. Nobody need ever know!

I would go to a local indy or chopper shop with the old parts and see if they can be matched.
There are a few different styles that have the same bore.
Some catalogs have pic of the actual parts in the kit.
