It's possible that the brake system is not thoroughly bled. It can take a lot of work to completely bleed a system after it's been disassembled. I would recommend re-bleeding, making sure to bleed at all the banjo bolts (for each banjo bolt, pump and hold the lever, crack the bolt open 1/4 turn, and then retorque while holding the lever down -- repeat for each banjo). You can also tap the calipers, lines, and master cylinder with a rubber mallet or screwdriver handle while bleeding. If you have access to a pressure bleeder, I would recommend using it, as this will do the job faster.

However, it's also possible your master cylinder is not a proper match for your calipers. Different master cylinders have various bore diameters and stroke lengths which affect feel and performance.

I'm sure it goes without saying that your brakes are a critical component of your bike. Making modifications you are unsure of can lead to life threatening failures. I would not recommend swapping brake components unless you are sure that the components you are installing are compatible with each other and your bike.

1992 FLHS, REAR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK, PADS ARE GOOD, LINES ARE INTACT, FRONT BRAKE WORKS FINE, WHEN YOU MASH THE PEDAL IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, ADTMENT IS GOOD.PLEASE HELP,.

Not sure what ADMENT means. Front and rear brakes are separate, as should be for safety. Not sure where the master cylinder is, I have a softail, but sounds like could be low on brake fluid, leaky or bad master cylinder or air in the line. If master cyl is bad, there will be fluid all over it. I would suggest taking it to a shop unless you are handy. Make sure you use the right brake fluid, very very important!

hi buddy the standard piston and rings will be the ones you need if its still below 85psi your barrel must be out of shape or you are leaking air in the gasket or in the coolant also when you put a new piston kie in get new gaskets my kx85 new ring and piston went to 185psi

Just replaced master cylinder on 1990 aerostar and bled the brakes, still the pedal goes to floor and i have no brakes

Did you bench bleed the master cyl. before installing it? then when you installed the new master, did you bleed all 4 points? If yes, then check all for points for leaking caliper/s and leaking wheel cylinder/s. If the van has ABS, check the valve body for a bleeder screw and see if air bleeds out of it. If you've checked everything twice and did everything right then your new master cyl. may be defective.

Radial calipers

and have found these. They are described as: .. designed to adapt forks having standard bottom configurations to facilitate the use of radial brake calipers. The kit is intended specifically for use with the Ohlins R&T forks and Ducati superbike models prior to the 749 and 999. So I take it they will fit. Then I've found some radial calipers from a 2007 S4R. Having done some searching of the forum I'm still very confused about fitment offests etc - and have seen one thread warning about using 65-100 something! Can anyone give me a quick answer - what would need to be done to make these fit, or what should I be looking for?,Radial caliper conversions cost a big chunk of change and in my humble opinion there are way cooler things you can spend money on for a base 748 like light wheels or good tires and a track day. Do you really need them? I personally don't see the need for radial calipers on a 748 even if you track your bike. Why not drop some cash on a good set of pads and a 19x20 radial master cylinder if its responsiveness and feel you're looking for?,,,
