Good front master cylinder/caliper swaps?
Hi again.
I'm looking for a good swap for my front master cylinder and/or caliper for my 200x, maybe someone has some experience.
I've considered the chinese repros on eBay but to me they are a last resort, Honda first. I could rebuild the M/C and caliper with kits, but theyre just plain worn out after 31 years. I already have a CR85 M/C and caliper swap in the back.
Thanks to those who reply in advance

I used a nice used YFZ 450 on my trike.It was clean for around $50.It is a bigger than your stocker.Braided brake lines help a lot.Does your caliper still slide?If so I would lube it up and clean it out with a new seal.

Did you replace both the MC and the caliper? My caliper does not move much. My front brakes worked when I started my rebuild, but they are super tiredOriginally Posted by jays375

I have a late model kx80 rear caliper on my front and my front master is an XR250 front mc... Just because I had a spare and it bolted right up.

No my caliper was good.The braided brake line is key.Your old rubber line swells to much when pressure is applied.
