Don’t be a Hero, be consistent.
After a brief moment of insanity when I thought I wanted to sell my soon to be track bike, I came to my senses and have decided to keep it. It has the recalled master cylinder but since I bought it with a parts only/certificate of destruction no dealer would perform the recall repair. That's fine, I wouldn't expect them to. So I have decided to replace the master cylinder instead.
I'm probably going to go with a Brembo 19x18 master and some braided steel lines. This all seems good in my mind but I am sure that I don't see the full picture. The information I have found about doing this is a little vague, at least for me. I have questions. Do I need to replace my reservoir? If so, what kind of bracket? I have a Ladybird style on the bike now. Will it fit around the bars properly without any other modifications. Will I need to replace my calipers? Cost? Any other suggestions or information I should know about?
OR should I just abandon all this crazy nonsense and just have the stock master cylinder professionally rebuilt for $100 and drop some coin on the braided steel brake lines? How long will the rebuild last, considering its of good quality work? I would hate to waste money on something that won't last.
I don't get to go to maybe 6 track days a year if I'm lucky and I still consider myself a noob. So what would be the best option for me in your opinion? Please don't say that it's up to me or it's a personal choice. I know that, I want to know what the far more experienced people think? If you need to ask questions to help me I will be more than happy to answer them. Thanks in advance.
