Brake master cylinder Bandit

[Reinhoud]

Men, Women, fairy tale creatures;

 

I've got a brake and clutch master cylinder on my GS1000 from a Bandit, AFAIK.

I'd like to get the brake master in the same model as my clutch master cylinder.

 

I think the clutch is from a GSF1200, and the brake from a GSF1250. When I start Googling, the clutch and brake still don't match.

I'm pretty sure the brake has a 14mm piston in it.

 

Anyone knows which brake baster cylinder will match my clutch master cylinder? Model and year, please?

 

Thanks

Match how ?

Same model

Also depends on year, as the b12 MK1 had two different f/master cylinders, I found out this the hard way, as they have different leavers, but I can't remember which was which 

FBB mite be the man to ask.

Think it's mk.1 and 2 have different master cylinders.

The early ones had the Nissin 4 pots, possibly mated to a 14mm one. Later Bandits had the tokico 6 pots, probably mated to a 16mm. That's the combo on a TLR anyway.

Forgot to mention, over at your place it might read ww91

First gen busa masters are a pretty flush coffin style as well, but they’re designed for bars with a bit of drop to them.

MK1 is 1200, MK2 is 1250?

Nope Mk1 is early 1996-2000,  1200 oily cooled, Mk2 is later 2000-2006 oil cooled

1250 is the so called Mk3 water cooled but shouldnt be called a Bandit at all.

 

I have a pair of Mk1 1200 mastercylinders at home, ill dom pic after work, but levers are differant between Mk1 and 2, due to slight differences in the master cylinders. 

Lots of places advertise the same after market lever for Mk1 and 2's but they dont fit both.............

Starting to think that my clutch master cylinder isn't from a Bandit.. 

No clue from what it comes then, anyone who has an idea?

Back doing a search then..

Think I found it.

Looks like my clutch master is a Bandit 1200 MK1

I’ve run a pair on Renthals for about 15 years, on flat bars the angle looks very odd and wrong. Surprisingly dispite not even being able to take the tops off without losing fluid, they have worked OK. I was expecting there to be dramas but never had any.  They do look strange though! 

[Reinhoud]

Looks like the brake and clutch cylinders are different models of the Bandit MK1

 

Any one here who can/wants to post a photo of the handle bars of a Bandit, like the photo I posted?

Thanks< that's clear enough. What I thought, different...

 

I might buy something aftermarket, found something from Beringer, very nice, but not cheap

Took a while, but I know what is what.

 

Thanks guys

Seen more then a pair of Beringers with faded colors so choose wisely. And you probably know this but still, radials need a bigger bore then axial m/c.

I found a set, Nissin Daytona. These are affordable. Order them on Thursday.

The Beringers are way too expensive

Bigger bore for radials I did not know.

But I ordered axial ones.
