    Me too, happy with them so far...

    Funny thing, after I posted the link for CNET, although $2 more expensive than the cheapest listing, while checking the link I ended up buying one from them last night. Went with them because they had a higher customer rating...

    By the way, I just purchased a rear master off of ebay a few minutes ago. Yes, the piston in those is larger as well. Squeeze, most likely, if you delink the front and rear, the available volume is greater to the rear and that's why the 4 piston ones seem to work ok with that mod, I would assume...
  11. bongobobny
    No, it won't. The slave cylanders will only take the volume they need. Perhaps you may notice a slight improvement with increased pressure but what it may mean is that they wil lock up easier! The best way to improve the early brakes without switching over is to go to stainless steel lines as they won't expand, causing loss of available pressure to the calipers. One other advantage of the newer setup is that the anti dive does not use hydraulics from the brakes, but rather an electric signal from the brake lights to trigger a servo to provide the anti dive. I'm finally going to make use of that front end setup you sold me a year ago or so!!

    I already have the front, need the rear. I just used the front as an example, the rear brake pedal would be the same idea. Sorry for confusing you, Squeeze... At this time Im not interested in delinkng as I sort of like the idea of the front and rear being linked. The main idea is to improve the braking of my '84 as the early 1st gen were very anemic as far as braking. Why do you think that Yamaha changed them in the first place???
  13. bongobobny
    Thanks, Neil, that's what I meant to say. The '86 up has a larger pistron thereby displacing more fluid, thereby delivering more volume for the same distance of hand grip movement. The piston area of the 4 piston calipers is larger, therefore you need more volume to produce the same distance of travel. Sooo, unless you want to squeeze your handlebar grip to the maximum and hope you have enough meat left on your pads, you had best install the newer master cylanders...

    Yah! Snow pretty! Fun stuff!! Now take it away!!!
  15. bongobobny
    I am sooooooo sick of the snow...
  16. bongobobny
    Snowing here too, but we're used to it!! You are smart to stay here you are especially down south where you guys don't know how to drive in it...
  17. bongobobny
    Yes it will, but keep your hands off the brpwn one ending in a couple of days location Buffalo, NY as I want it myself and am local...
  18. bongobobny
    No, you need the bigger master cylanders as the calipers hold a lot more fluid. The fluid has to come from somewhere, and the smaller early 1st gen masters don't have it...
  19. bongobobny
    Just said a prayer for you, Buddy. Get well soon!
  20. bongobobny
    Yah, I haven't seen any on ebay either, and that's why I started this thread. No huge rush as the actual conversion probably won't happen until April. I have to rebuild front shocks and install progressive springs, and rebuild front calipers and master cylander as well, so when I go to do it, it should be a 1 afternoon project, take off the old and bolt on the new...

    Rear master cylander for '86 up Venture. I am updating my braking system in the front and found out from Rick at Buckeye that the master cylanders are larger for the 4 piston calipers. I have the front master cylander but not a rear one. So if anyone has an extra they want to part with let me know...
  22. bongobobny
    Now, can he make one that looks like a '55 T Bird?!!?
  23. bongobobny
    Wassa matter, Charlie, couldn't hook up the sled dogs to get down to Kitchener Saturdey?? You missed one heck of a great time...
