Slow progress

Well, a quick update on slow progress.
I spent a few frustrating hours yesterday trying to rebuild the master cylinder. First problem was that the rebuild kit bore little resemblence to my own piston assy, and was in fact too big.
I assumed that my master cylinder was off a KLR 600 A1, but obviously not.
I now have a bit of a dilemma. I can't really send it back, as I opened it and actually fitted the outer dust seal.
I thought I might get away with the original seals, but after filling and bleeding, there was not much pressure being exerted, although I have no pads in yet, Once I have fitted thew new pads and front wheel, I'll try again. You never know your luck!
On the good side, got an E Mail today (Monday) saying that the tyre, tube and rim tape were on their way. Also, the new side stand arrived from Belfast, and quite a thing it is too!!
Well, here's hoping for an easy day at work tomorrow, and a couple of hours fitting stuff!
