- McMaster-Carr, except different size sleeve brg as you would expect. I'm traveling now and will put up the P/N when time permits if you like.
- I would also suggest you check the Master Cyl (MC) Flat Piston Surface that the M6 Cross-Point adjust screw contacts when depressing the brake Lever.
- I had found on my bike that this was worn and I replaced (Rebuilt) the MC (New Piston Kit) which eliminated the NOTCHY feel when squeezing the brake lever.
- IMO you'll also have better modulation with the OEM MC if you adjust the aforementioned screw to 0.015" clearance.
- The Piston/Lever M6 adjust screw is steel biting against the die cast MC piston and will wear over a period of time imo.

i tried 2 levers to make sure it wasn't something other then the levers. it goes away with lube on the bolt but comes back again, it went away with the 2nd brake lever. i have a set of new levers and wanna mod the brake so i don't get this issue again. the first set got to the point to where it was annoying. i would pull the brake lightly and it was fine but if i pulled harder it would jump like feeling in the lever and brake hard. like i said, its hard to explain. i stopped using the front brakes till i got the 2nd brake lever.

Sleeve Bearing > McMaster-Carr

You'll want to properly JIG-UP the Brake Lever to prevent the drill from climb cutting or lip grind the drill bit

Still may have to do a piston rebuild. We shall see..

You doing those up to sell RIJ? I'm going to be replacing my throttle and clutch cables in the next week or two and would be interested. Thanks!

Sorry brother,
One set was sent to me and one in gonna use on my bike since my last broke in my accident. The other is gonna be a spare.
Not really. It's more to help out the warriors. The cost probably
wouldn't be worth it to many. I'm not saying it's expensive but shipping 2 ways and material.

What if some one paid you for all material and labor upfront and you just set it up and mail it to them?
