FireHead Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 I need to find a place to purchase one of the Mattoon (or look-a-like) rear master cylinder resvoirs that bolt straight to the rear master cylinder. Their website says it is still in the prototype stage, which is BS since a bunch of folks have them. Their phone was busy all day and I am kind of figuring they don't want my business that badly at this point. Where else can I buy one? Quote

Snopczynski Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Last I heard about 1.5 years ago they discontinued them and recalled them do to failures they were having. I dont think they are even listed on Mattoons site anymore either. Mattoon Machine Link Quote

Snopczynski Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 about 2 years ago they came out with a tiny little one that bolted right onto the rear master cylinder. They discontinued them when they had a bunch of problems. So as it said on the site, there is nothing available yet. Quote

Quite a few people have them, so either someone else is making them or Mattoon's website is incorrect. Quote
BigRed350x Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Look on ebay for a rear master cylinder for a dirtbike. they all have the resevoir built right onto the cylinder. I know some of the yamaha dirtbikes use the ones just like you are looking for, and would probably bolt up for you as well... Here's one off a honda... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-Honda-CR...126847741QQrdZ1 Quote

yfzdunejumper Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I have a crf one polished with a bracket for a banshee frame that I couldn't get to work right I think the honda ones dont have the psi the yamaha's do. You are looking for a WR450 master cylinder but it won't bolt right up you will need to make a bracket. I just bought on but have hooked it up yet. Quote

You are looking for a WR450 master cylinder but it won't bolt right up you will need to make a bracket. I just bought on but have hooked it up yet. Is there not one that will bolt up at all? Do they all need adapter brackets? I really didn't want to have to make something myself for this part. Quote
yfzdunejumper Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 It is easy to make a bracket but it won't sit the way it was intended but should work fine I would make you one if you want Quote

I am not scared of making the bracket to adapt the master cylinder to my frame, my objection to doing it is that I would then be adding the weight of two fasteners and a bracket to the bike, which I know isn't much, but I spoose it's the principle of the whole thing.

yfzdunejumper Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 I don't have it in front of me I will have to dig out the crf one but the wr would be a little different. I am all about weight trust me I know. My lightened stock frame shee weighs 262 pounds wet and you can't get there if you don't worry about ozs. I just made it out of alum. plate its not to heavy I would say it ends up being a wash after you lose the big res., hose, and tabs. It just looks cleaner Quote
