Front brake master cylinder 78 KZ650 D1 was created by markc3wa
The master cylinder for the front brakes on my bike is trashed. I haven't had much luck finding an exact, rebuildable replacement at the local bike recycler or on ebay. Bike Bandit appears to have the entire assembly but it's close to $400(!) Z1enterprises has what looks like the older single-caliper style. I'm curious to know what others in this situation have done regarding front brakes.
Thanks!
Thanks!

May usually be restored unless the bore is too badly pitted.
Often the old pistons and cups remain serviceable after careful thorough cleaning.
Rebuild kits are available if needed.
Good Fortune!

Looks like standard trapezoidal style (probably 5/8" bore) used on dual front disc models.
