_Wilson_™ 6,558 Posted September 24, 2022 Yeah your right fish he did...... I had planned the same mod for that 97 300, and had been conversing with him on things I'd need to change and i recall he had to slightly mod the underside of the gas tank..... Maybe he'll chime in when he sees these post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted October 3, 2022 Working on the stuck piston of the front brake master cylinder this morning >>>> @shadetree told me to use grease power to get it out , that worked , found a 1/8 ( BTP ) British taper pipe thread fitting and it screwed in maybe two threads into the Banjo fitting without damaging threads and it was enough to pop the piston out ---- then I looked for 1/2 hour for the new OEM repair kit , that I seen not long , never found it , but found some other things I have been looking for and some I never knew I even had ------ that repair kit goes for right at $50 now days 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really , just looked and they have a $17.99 and $26.99 for a used one on PSN ---------- if I can't find that kit I have , it would be stupid to even buy a $50 kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goober 1,555 Posted October 4, 2022 Ok here’s two pix of my leftover TRX300 parts. I can’t remember fo sho if this is a TRX300 master cylinder kit. It is missing the piston but looks like i put the old one in there. the rest of this is TRX300 stuff fosho. You’re welcome to what ya see here. Hardware to rebuild footrests, salvaged primer pump, straps, battery hold down bracket etc the harness i got from SamUK he said was for a TRX300 but i can’t tell—maybe a 450.
