Default I’m a bonehead/ brake master cylinder

I didn’t have my brake master cylinder aligned with my controls when reassembling my bike. I bused the housing when I tightened it up.

I was was bummed about costing myself some money for a dumb mistake but I can live with it because it is black and I am trying to chrome my bike out...on a budget. Lol

i found the Harley brake master and clutch for $360. I found some other stuff on JPcycles but I’m not sure if they are notched for my audio controls...I want good parts on my bike.

Do we have a vendor or does anyone have any input?

Hope you get this worked out for the best. I deal with a bunch of different after market products and to be perfectly honest, if you want good quality stuff, go with OEM on this one. I’ve seen a bunch that just doesn’t fit, levers are loose in the perch, need to notch areas bigger to allow for wiring, etc. just my .02.

I know how you feel, busted the clutch perch on my 14 FLKTK a couple of years ago. That cost me a pretty penny to replace the master cylinder.

You can get OEM parts from Ronnies HD, sometimes cheaper than a dealer. Google them and check it out. I try to avoid JP or any aftermarket places as much as possible.

I was told to use, "good old tried and true" a long time ago and I've found for the most part it is the way to go.
