    hey all, the rear brake on my dragster stopped working and seeing the ajp calipers are shit to bleep i bought a zip caliper, turns out though its the master thats F****d up as this one wont bleed up either, i tried putting mole grips on the brake hose to see if the lever went stiff and nothing so im just wondering if anyone knows what other master cylinders will fit on the dragster 125/180, someone told me gilera runner ones but im not to sure if any will just fit one or just certain ones... also i think im right in sayin the peugeot speedfight uses the same masters?

    Cheers

    Gilera runner ones would probably fit as long as the bars are the same size. The normal problem with fitting odd master cylinders to bikes is clearance on handlebar panels but as dragsters don't have them the only problem I could see you having is making sure you have the right leavers.

    Some of the speedfight ones do look very similar but then some don't. Might be the best place to start looking.

    yeah there the same as the speedfights. i have problems with mine too, theres a rubber seal on the cylinder that rips, there are repair kits out for them, im putting aerox cylinders and calipers on mine. mines the 50 though. i cant see why runner ones wouldnt fit
