Does anyone know if the rear master brake cylinde housing on the NC35 matches any other bike? Preferably one sold in the US?

Thanks,
Kelly

Not 100% which part you mean there Kelly.
Have a look at the links and, if you can spot it, that'll give us the part number
This one is the brake calliper and mounting bracket:

This one is the master cyinder:

Once we know the part number you're half way there.
Note that this might not be you're exact RVF model so you may hace to search a bit to be exact.
Cheers,

I reckon the housing is a fairly generic part - you can always find a m/c and us a bracket for it?

Pretty sure the NC30 one will also fit..but they are not forthcmoing in the USA!

43500-MR8-601 is the whole assy

43500 is the Honda code for the rear m/c - the MR8 is the code for the bike and the third is the part revision number

Yes I need the whole assembly, Mananon...it is part #2 on the second link - 43500-MR8-901.

We already rebuilt it, but believe there may be a crack or something on the inside of the actual metal housing. Maybe I can keep my eyes peeled on ebay and hope something shows up...

Thanks for the help, guys.

Surely the postage cannot be that harsh for it??

Yep...I think the postage will be fine, but can't stomach the almost $400 cost of a new one...hopefully ebayUK will be good to me :)

New ones are pricey.. most of the Honda bikes from that era use the same master cylinder.. though getting one off an RVF will ensure a correct fit.

If you can't find a seller willing to post to the US just give me a shout and i'll get it and forward it on.

Pretty sure I've got one you can have for the price of postage. Will dig it out...and check postage too..

Awww thanks :rocks:

I will start checking and see what I find. This better fix the stupid rear brake issue on the bike...the housing is the only thing we haven't rebuilt!

What problem are you actually having with the rear brake?

There usually crap anyway :)
