1982 KZ550 A3 - Master Cylinder

Seeing as K&L has never produced a rebuild kit, and never will

-and-

Kawasaki has discontinued the kit, with no rebuild kits to be found


What other bikes can i get a rebuildable master cylinder off of?

Any aftermarket, rebuildable brake master cylinders available?

The local bike shop want $150 for a "used" replacent, but whos to say its not in as bad of shape as mine (internally)

7/8" Handle Bars
Single disc
Right-hand
Incorporated resevoir


I found a "dust boot", which is the portion that of mine that is torn and have it on the way. But I need a back up plan in case this doesn't pan out.

Thanks,
Rob

i know on my 750 i cant buy a new master cylinder but the internal parts can still be bought. have you try looking for separate parts for it? try bikebandit

Yes, the internal parts are discontinued.

The GPZ of the same year (dual disc) is available. Hmuch is involved in swapping the GPZ front setup onto an A model bike?

New forks?
New Wheel?
Master cylinder?
lines?

anything else?

You might want to ask these folks. All they do is motorcycle brake stuff...

They gave me the same K&L part numbers that are for a GPz model, The plunger is too short / fat and the spring is too short.



I ordered a dust boot, i hope this fixes mine. I really wanted a new plunger / spring too.

Take a look at the parts diagrams at Kawasaki.com and post the part number(s) your trying to find. Someone on this site may be able to help you track the part(s) down. Some parts are truly impossible to find, but there are lot of discontinued parts hiding here and there that can be found. Ed
