Finally fixed front brakes
Well I've been messing around with the brakes for years. Rebuilt with new seals in caliper and master. New pins several pads and discs. Even bought a new line. Found a low mileage XR400 caliper to swap onto the GG carrier.
Every time made a small improvement. But like not marvellous.
One night I had a rush of blood and bought a brand new Nissin Master cylinder off Ebay from Italy of all places.
Tried it last weekend. Now it's great. I'm confident using 1 finger down steep downhills.
I guess eventually the master wears a bit and a new sealkit doesn't address that.
Must do the rear next. I had tried a Chinese CR copy but bore was different and needed bodge spacing brackets as hole were further away from body at the bottom..
