Welcome aboard ...

Sorry, no background info on the Batanista master cylinder ... I would not think it that expensive to just replace the entire master cylinder with something new--whether stock replacement/reproduction or maybe an aftermarket setup that is designed to work with the '78 model year ...

As far as aftermarket, you could look at JayBrake or Performance Machine ... etc. I would think those should be fairly accessible or common ...

Hey 1340Buffy -

Since no one seems to be offering any advice on the brake question you posed, you might consider posting another query on either the "Wheels, Tires and Brakes" forum ... link here ...

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/wheel...nd-brakes-146/

... or another place you might get some substantive responses is the "Classic/Shovelhead" forum ... link here ...

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/shovelhead-62/

Good luck sorting out the brake issue ...
