2001Stroker Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 That looks good man. I've gotten addicted to polishing lately myself. Gotta love it. Question though. Why'd you grind the fins off of the rear brake master cylinder? I mean, it looks awesome without them, but they do serve a purpose. I'm sure it was easier doing it that way though. I just did mine, and it was a pain in the ass the grind all of the casting pits from between the fins. Everything looks pimpin though. Good job on it. Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Hell yeah came out good! Quote
lokisbuddy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 what purpose do the fins serve? it cant be cooling they are too far apart and not nearly enough to make a difference.....or am I completely wrong? Quote

That's the purpose. To dissapate heat away from the master cylinder, and keep the fluid a little cooler. It won't lower the temps much, but might help with the fluid breaking down some. Especially if you are an aggressive rider, and use the brakes alot. You're right though, they ain't big, and are a little far apart, but that's the purpose they serve. I'm sure Yamaha did some testing, and that's what they came up with. Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 like lokisbuddy and 2001Stroker said, i dont think the fins on the brake cyl do too much for heat dissipation and looks 1000% better without them. i dont use rear brakes that much anyway. good job. :thumbsup: Quote
sheefreak Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 As little as I use the brakes, I am not worried about what little cooling properties I may have lost... Thanks for the compliments! Quote
