Harley Sportster, Rear Brake Master Cylinder, Full Restoration!

By turning it around arent you going to lose access to the site window to see how the fluid level is?

[@grosbeakmc]

Great video, Del and Penny. Really nice job of refurbishing that master cylinder and I'm looking forward to seeing how it gets set up. I've said it before and it bears repeating - your video quality is excellent, from camera work and audio to editing. Del, you're a natural host and the dialogue is spot on. I realize that what we see for 11 minutes and 24 seconds is the tip of the iceberg compared to the hours of work that go in behind the scenes, and I appreciate it all the more for that. Take it easy, be healthy, ride safe!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much kind Sir, that is very nice of you to notice and say such kind thing, you're right it is a lot of work, each production is a two day commitment, a full working day in the garage to capture the footage and between 5-8hrs editing and post-production, but as we go along we're getting a little better at it, capturing those shots and trying to raise the bar on our own personal standards... we feel this is important as we roll over a huge milestone in subscribers, we want to keep delivering better content all the time... there's still many out there far better than us in cinematic quality so we have plenty to keep up with! Thank you again, take care and all the best to you and your family!

[@jjrider6758]

I can't pretend to be a massive fan of Harley Davidson, I know some might call their bikes 'agricultural' and that their brakes come in for some criticism too, but you've got to give them their due, watching Del's build has opened my eyes to one thing, their general engineering is seriously rugged ! - It's strong and simple with no unnecessary frills (at least on the older, 'lower end' bikes) and coming from a classic British bike owning background that's something I can definitely relate to and respect...

Thanks man! I am doing this at the moment and it helps heaps! My cylinder was so clogged up that i did not even notice the small holes at first.

Beautiful work as always Del and Penny ! The rouge and the buffing wheel are like a fountain of youth for alloy parts. The innards of the cylinder show how important it is to keep the fluid fresh.

God bless and be well. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for your kind words Rick, I've always thought it would be cool to make a corporate training video, but of course someone needs to ask for that to happen! And yes you're right, it's so important to change fluid, it builds up water content through condensation and rots the internals over time, checking the level on any hydraulic system is pretty irrelevant unless it's leaking to atmosphere!

[@MrVirago1000]

Hi Delboy, i like your videos and follow your channel for years, but never commented. Why do you convert the Sportster to chain driven? Belt is much better, no need maintenance, clean, doesn't stretch or wear lime chain, no need lubrication, and HD says it is for life (buell recommends the replacement in every cant remember the miles) Chain is worse option than belt in every respect. Why do you convert it to chain-driven then? In fact every other manufacturer should use belt. This is my opinion. Curious about yours. Only complaint would be to HD that the chrome plating of the pulley is quite crap and the belt wears it off but that is not the belts fault. (And you are not the only one, I saw quite few sporis converted)

[@russellleggatt4269]

Excellent! Lookin' forward to the next installment!

[@mickleblade]

Another tip is to take things apart on a tray, it'll stop the little parts rolling off the table. It won't necessary catch the Jesus clip though.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

She's coming right along, Delboy! Any time I wonder how Harley managed to make the Sportser so very heavy for its footprint, all it takes is to look at each component and see where they used BEEFY components and said damn weight management... make it ham-fisted-proof and durable, and my answer becomes clear. I love 'em for it, heavy or not, especially when they've got a little age on 'em and out come the Vice Grips and the Big Hammer.Tractor-like becomes a thing to be admired at those trying times. Say hello to Madam Penny for me :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Absolutely mate, nice to hear from someone who totally 'gets it'... Harleys are insanely over engineered in every aspect and I love that! I always thought it was in the frame, every Sportster is a 1/4 ton, but then I weighed the frame on this project and it's barely 20kgs! The weight's in the engine and then systematically, in every other component, engine mount plates made from 1/4" steel plate, wheels that weight more than a car wheel, like you say, they resist the ham fist and the vice grips and they're eternally repairable!

Hi Dell, Harley's looking good. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the panels. Before you use your wire brush on the bench you put something on it, like a big candle. What is this and what does it do? Simon

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Simon, that big green block is polish... often called 'Polishing soap'.. you apply some to the hard stitched wheel and it does the hard work of bringing up the shine.. then the white mop buffs off the polish residue.!

[@mattmckee396]

Your disassembly of this is so methodical. Do you typically know the process of apart and back together or are you using the videos for reassembly?

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, the brake pump is a pretty generic contraption, once you understand the principles of how they work, it;s obvious which part goes where, but in any first time disassembly of a differently designed set up, it helps to lay things out in order and pay close attention when disassembling, even laying washers, nuts and rubber boots in their line of assembly on some shop towel will act as a 3D schematic for reassembly!

[@myz06rocks]

I like the simple goal of just making something grubby nice again. Quick question, would a much smaller rear master from a sports bike been an option? I suppose then you would be flexible where it could go and you might have been able to hide it away to some extent?

[@Moonfleet41]

I guess I could have done, all things are possible, but however small it is, there's nowhere to hide it on this bike that's out of sight... so I may was well make a feature of it I guess!

That's strange, can the dealer not order one for you? I believe they're still available, or perhaps you're looking for a second hand one which, indeed, I doubt you'll find... but as for whether this will fit, I don't know as I've never tried.

[@casparwylie]

Question - why can’t I see a by-pass/compensation port in the master cylinder reservoir? Do rear master cylinders on sportsters not have a second port?

It may be old age, or even tonlght's gravy, yet a subtle Millyardian viewpoint now pervades even the simplest mechanical observations, ie. for me 10:25 is no longer a well serviced Harley brake part, but the likely crankcase & block for an absolutely stonking 1/10th scale 1935 Bugatti engine - a little crank, some liners & . . .
