I bought this part last summer and never had the chance to replace the original until now. Usually I post in detail about the process but this is a relatively easy swap. Enjoy the photos.

These steel braided hoses are amazing. I can’t wait to get my new master cylinder in and test the front brakes.

I plugged it right into the original master cylinder for now. I’m getting a modern radial master cylinder to replace it. The banjo bolt is a little rusted but still works like a charm.

Lower hose.

Slick.

New pads, new steel hoses, and a new master cylinder on its way. Slowly but surely the front end is looking good. I’ll get new forks and bars this winter after the riding season.
