My Dot 5 mistake... looking for some parts
 

well after talking with my dealer I think we agreed that replacing the rubber parts is probably the best since it's been in there awhile and his experience with it is basically it ruins the seals and rubber... Well the gixxer1000 brakes I'll rebuild, but the rear brake and clutch I'm hoping for your help. Does anyone have a stock clutch setup/line laying around as well as a rear brake master cylinder, line and calipers? i know on ebay I believe the complete setups go for about as much as I'd pay for the rebuild kit... Also just curious but would other bike's rear brake master cylinder and caliper work as well as the clutch master cylinder???? hoping to get by with minimal costs for this mistake

well found a rear setup for $55 + shipping... but then also a rear caliper + line for $15. might do that and get the rebuild for the MC, then figure out the clutch...

Good luck, I think I have an oem rear line somewhere if you want it.

will let you know. rear caliper rebuild prob will be real cheap since there's only like 2 seals. heh

I have a brand new Galfer steel braided clutch line I bought 4 months ago and never installed... I paid 25 plus shipping... would offer you the same deal, and if your interested I can also include my stock front and rear brake lines if your interested. Let me know.

So what is the advantage to a steel clutch line?? just curious.....

hey I'm gonna pm you about those when I get back from my cousin's wedding this weekend. I'm 110% interested. I need to get a quote on the seals first though next monday

2nd dibs if No9 bails on the deal!

:P i'll almost def take the clutch line and rear brake line. fronts I have my old set of SS lines. they're still good but the outer black cover is ripped a lil. I'll tape it and get some new ones later

Bah! You suck!






J/K! :)

#9... Email me when you get a chance (after the weekend) for the lines. (jcbillig@yahoo.com)

This is kind of off topic, but.....what did you have to do to fit the gixxer brakes. Was it just a bolt on deal, or was there some major retro-fit?

'01&'02 Gsxr 1000 calipers are a direct fit but no other years fit.

Do I need to change any other parts to make it work (master cylinder, lines, disc)?

You should use the master from the gsxr, (can get away with vtr but should match), but you can use your lines and rotors.

Rotors....I was having a brain fart and could not think of the word..(disc, what a moron)

Don't beat yourself up man same thing different name, no biggie.:-D
