78KZ1000B2 FRONT MASTER CYLINDER

I have a 78KZ1000B LTD that's been sitting a few years. The front master cylinder is toast it has the Triangle type I would like to know my options. I am not concerned with the Bike being Stock. Can I replace it with another model Master Cylinder? Can anyone recommend someone to rebuild the one I have or were to get a replacement?
I am just starting to get the Bike back on the road and have a feeling I will be asking a lot of questions so thanks in advance.

Looks like a lot of help in this Fourm. There is a new one listed E-Bay I don't know if it is single or duel disk but for the money I can put a newer set up

no problem using a modern master.
if u get 1 with the reservoir attatched it is an easy fit.also look for 1 with a mirror mount, if needed.

Often restorable, even when looking pretty terrible. B)

I used one off a 650. They seem to sell for less on eBay. Mine is off a dual disk setup. Roy
