Master Cylinder rebuild for 1978 GL1000
My MC is leaking and shorting out my electical components so this needs to be repaired. I'm not sure exactly where it is leaking from so I plan to do a complete re-build as I'm sure it has never been done on this bike. WingAdmin posted a DIY for the GL1100 that is very good. Will this same DIY work for my GL1000? Do you guys have a recommendation on where to purchase the kit? Thanks!

He has a lot of rebuild parts and kits. His stuff is high quality.

While Randakk does sell the kits, his are almost $20 more.harvey01 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 4:15 pm I don't know if he has them but suggest you check with: www.randakks.co

I would be willing to pay the extra money to insure good quality.

You're paying for Randakk's name and advertizing in this case.
