Re: latest project - '87 FZR1000
Now you have me thinking about new rotors....
Those are really great looking!If you can't fix it by hitting it with a hammer, it's electrical!

Re: latest project - '87 FZR1000
Some progress this wknd, but I ended up with a slight dilemma.
- Got the front & rear rims back, balanced and with new tires! (michelin PR3 - the rear is an odd-size so limits tires choices).
- New brake rotors mounted (both Brembo)
- Have front tire mounted...
- New seals and pads in the ('03 R6S/compatible) rotors and soft-mounted those
- slightly different shade of gold, but I think I can deal
- Removed front/rear brake and clutch hoses
- all date Jan/Feb 1987
- and I rode it this way???
- replaced master cylinders in front and rear brakes
The issues is the clutch master cylinder. The part I ordered (2KW-W0099-00) doesn't fit, not even close. Upon further inspection, I have the right part, so - only conclusion I can come to is, this is NOT an 1987 cluster master cylinder assembly I have on here. Not quite sure how, or if I can, figure out what it really is. Thoughts on that? Or is my only real option to ebay the correct assembly, thus my cylinder-kit will then fit?

That or replace the entire assembly with master for $125, part #1: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/ya...ter-cylinder-2
For piece of mind, a NEW complete assembly, no internal pitting, etc may be the way to go..
That and you know it'll fit / function as designed for THAT bike.Last edited by TownsendsFJR1300; 12-03-2018 at 05:02 PM. Reason: Brain fart

Re: latest project - '87 FZR1000
I've seen many bikes 13-15y newer than yours looking much worse, so yours was definitely taken care of.
If everything ends up like those freshly coated rims, it will look great!

Re: latest project - '87 FZR1000
In reference to that clutch master cylinder. I know it's a long shot but I'm wondering if someone put a Suzuki master cylinder on it? The SV1000 uses a hydraulic clutch.

Re: latest project - '87 FZR1000
My old Honda, (1985 ((totaled)) and 1986) VT1100's had hydraulic clutches way back then.
Had many parts way ahead of it's time...Scott
