I own a U.S. bike here in the U.K. and I'm unable to get a front brake master cylinder seal kit in England. Can anyone put me in touch with a U.S. supplier who may have the parts and would mail to the U.K.
My bike is a 1983 KZ550LTD C4
Happy riding

A quick suggestion: these kits are usually sized by the diameter of the piston so you can probably just buy one locally or from whatever distributor you can find locally... I think single disk fronts are 5/8" and dual disc are 3/4"... yes, in inches.. really!

Piston size is 1/2" but I can't get it in UK. I need a U.S. supplier who exports to England.
Can anyone help?

Big K sold a gazillion KZ's in the Continent... there must be an aftermarket supplier in Europe that handles these types of things. Maybe buy a bike magazine and see who puts in the ads like Dennis Kirk does in the states?

I contacted George "Boomer" Garrett in the UK. His response is as follows:
Hi David,
If anyone can get the parts then it'll be Z-Power
www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanager/
He will need to give them a call and will need to provide exact details as to the model, etc. of the bike.
If they can't do it then he will need to order the parts from Kawasaki.

I have tried z-power and kawasaki uk. I am taking the old piston to a dealer in the UK in an attempt to match with old stock.
