Famous quote from a less than famous man, but my hero, my father. “If your not careful you’ll learn something new everyday”.Thanks Mikaw for the post about Redline ! I've never removed the reservoir from one of these I just assumed they had an odd shaped o-ring......learn something new every day here...Thanks again!

Im old enough to remember rebuilding drum brake wheel cylinders. Back then we always ran a 2 stone hone through the bore. Our beloved Kz’s are the same vintage so it would make sense to use the same process.
~~~>>> We used to use our fingers and plumbers emery cloth, which is around 120 grit. Never had any leaks.
Then we took the sheen off the drum with the same stuff.

Late to the game here and just read a few post. Keep reading that your Moto is a LTD, it’s not it a Kz1000a1.
My first kz was a 77 kz1000a1 just like your and still have after 25 years. Started a Resto mod 10 years ago and haven’t finish it cause I keep buying motorcycles.lol
yiu doing a great job on yours and you’ll be rewarded with lots of smiles pretty soon.
Thanks spdygon, I also own a 76 LTD that I bought in early 1977 when I was 19, I just bought the 1000A1 last October.
