Harley Rear Master Cylinders and Parts

Buying Guide and FAQs

Buying Guide: Factors to Consider When Choosing Harley Bike Rear Master Cylinders and Parts

• Compatibility: Ensure parts fit your Harley's model (e.g., Sportster XL 2004-2017, FLT Touring 2008-2020, Big Twin) and specifics like bore size (3/4", 5/8", 9/16", 11/16"). Use the vehicle selector for year-specific matches to avoid installation or performance issues.
• Type of Use: For street cruising or touring, opt for standard master cylinders or rebuild kits for reliable braking; custom or performance builds benefit from billet assemblies for enhanced style and pressure delivery in demanding conditions.
• Components and Upgrades: Select complete assemblies, covers (dimpled/finned), gaskets (rubber), rebuild kits (seals/pistons), or pins. Focus on features like CNC-machined designs, anodized finishes, and included hardware for leak-free rebuilds.
• Brand and Quality: Choose Joker Machine for warrior-style covers, Drag Specialties for chrome assemblies, Covingtons for finned billet options, Accutronix for custom 5/8" bore, Eastern for black 3/4" assemblies, or Performance Machine for 11/16" rebuilds. Prioritize billet aluminum/steel with chrome/black finishes for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Installation and Cost: Most parts are bolt-on or direct replacements for easy DIY; rebuild kits simplify overhauls. Prices range from $10.15 for gaskets to $299.95 for assemblies—factor in USA-made quality and free shipping over $99 for value.
