[QUOTE="sledge, post: 32554, member: 148"] My rear brakes have never been all the great on my 1980 Goldwing. . I have flushed new fluid through it a couple of times , changed Rotors , New Pads , still the same , always had to Pump the brakes to stop . sooooo a few days ago I got on to take ride and Nothing... not a sign of a brake , it was full of Brake Fluid but....just like nothing when I pushed the brake pedal . so it sit a few days , I went by the Honda shop , they said they didn't have a kit for it , and couldn't get one . sooooooo.........to my story . I took the Master Cylinder off the bike , took it all apart , and there is 2 little rubber plungers inside it about half the size of a dime. one of mine had a broke place in it. .. so, I was about to look for another Master Cylinder and weld brackets to make it fit on my Goldwing when I had this Idea. I had a Master Cylinder hanging on the wall of my Garage that I took off a 1980 GS750 Suzuki a few years ago . and no.....it wouldn't Fit.... but , I took it apart , and you can believe me when I say every piece inside it was exactly the same as my 1980 GL1100 Goldwing. Perfect fit... and the only time in almost 2 years that my Goldwing has really had good brakes. .... now I haven't checked to see if I could buy a 1980 GS750 Master Cylinder rebuild kit. but..... who knows , Maybe. I just wanted to let everybody know , that they WILL FIT. [/QUOTE]
