Working on the rebuild of the rear brake master cylinder. Dust boot was torn one didn't come in the rebuild kit for 03 Chopper. Anyway rear brake petal could press it with almost no petal travel. Ordered the rebuild kit and some other parts took the master cylinder off took it apart (Note to self remember there is a spring in the cylinder next rebuild.) Parts flew everywhere only found the piston exactly same size as the rebuild kit one. There were metallic flakes in the reservoir and metal sludge in the cylinder bore. Not a lot in either but enough to plug the small fluid return hole cleaned it out. New brake light switch is coming tomorrow and I will reinstall everything then. If anyone has a line on where I can get the accordion style dust cover let me know please 1 1/4" OD and 1" ID 1" long. I'll take pictures on the rebuild and post to this thread. Later

I did call bigdogpartskingin.com they did not have the part but they have excellent customer service. They called me back to say they didn't have the part. They looked at the post to check on the picture to see exactly what I was talking about. Donna was they person I talked with. This is a company worth doing business with if you haven't yet.

If you think their service is great, You should meet them in person. Not only great service, but truly fantastic people who treat others like longtime family friends. Super fine folks !
