... can any of you ID this master cylinder assembly?

Now its on my good RS and assumed it was the correct one for the bike however the RS125DX brake light switch doesnt fit and the brake lever is different..

Hope one of you lads knows as getting tired of ordering bits only to find the part i am replacing is none standard... :(

Tell me about it, i think he had it for a couple of months tops as somebody on an rd250 kept on wasting him on the way to work....

That was when he bought the 1971 CB175 which he still has, which will come as no surprise is, if i remember rightly quicker on acceleration and top speed than the 250:lol: progress eh.

You mean the spongy twin carb twin that would do 0~60 quicker than the CB250N but looked like a pile of poo ? CB175 - RD200 no contest best get the old boy to buy an RD200 (it has electric start) and just pee over those Honda things :D

Nah he's past caring, he got the 175 in the end because he couldn't afford them when they came out, bit like my TDR and they blew the old brit rubbish he COULD afford into the dust, either with their straight out performance or their handling.

you managed to get a ton out of a dream .. I guess you had a gale behind you (XS 250 the same) or it was being towed by an RD250 :D?

yep well 99MPH as never ever managed to reach the ton mark lol... nowhere near that with the XS mind... i think that topped out at about 90 lol

my KH125 was nearly as fast as the XS and could whip its ass from a standing start.. :D

Aye its two-stroke thing canny " :rolleyes: thats what i meant about honda"s, they never made a decent stroker for the road, 1970s, elsinore Moto x -ers were good, Cb400/4 cuddna look at RD400. B)

Your speedo error musta gave the dream 250 99mph ,, been 88, maybe,,,,;)
