Default 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..

Good job!

On my '01 XC 200, I ordered every part, front & rear including brake pads from a'01 Honda CR 250 oem online parts outlet.

Brakes are excellent now.
