82 KZ1000J2 front master cylinder rebuild

Hi fellow Kawa riders,

I have just stripped down the front master cylinder from my 1982 KZ1000J2. I cleaned up the bore, bought the rebuild kit, but the piston liner part #14008-1007 which has perished over the years is not in any rebuild kits. I searched the net to find that this part fit some 93 Kawa models but I can't find any one that has a replacement or NOS item.

Can anyone in this forum help me located this item?

Thanks.

According to kawasaki.com, piston liner part #14008-1007 is shared by 102 different Kawasaki models (see listing below).

Google search of 14008-1007 produces numerous suppliers listing the part.
Here's hoping one of them might actually have it.

Good Fortune!

I have been to all these sites, they are diagrams and parts lists all mark the part as obsolete. I have also tried specific NOS suppliers and yet to find ANY ONE that has a piston liner in stock.

I was hoping that some one may know where there is some NOS or a reproduction replacement part.

Try Bob Clickinbread in locust grove Georgia. He is supposed to be a motorcycle brake specialist I got this from the other kz.org site.
