Hello all,

I have the MC21 front master cylinder in bits for a clean up and thought I would go ahead and put new seals in whilst its apart.
Any advice on a supplier or stick to OEM? 45530-KV3-305 with Honda is £55


Cheers
Max

I use CMSNL for a lot of parts

I always use the Tour Max kits, fitted loads over the years and never had a failure.

Yeah, they're not cheap are they?! I literally just bought a rear one off the dreaded auction site for £50... £75 from Honda, and everywhere out of stock, so I snapped it up!

Fronts tend to be a little cheaper for some reason. I only wanted genuine Honda.

The rear kit which I think is 43520-MB2-305 is a little cheaper at David Silver £62.40 inc, instead of Honda for anyone needing one.

Which, as I say, is out of stock, and seems to be everywhere. On the Honda system it shows up as discontinued, so you can likely expect that status to start filtering down to other Honda part searches soon. Hence why I jumped on the one on eBay for £50 inc P&P.

Edit: I've just checked again on Lings, and it now comes back as "superseded" part number 43520-MB2-315 [for the rear] but @ £79.19. So not all's lost! I think that rear master is used on a lot of bikes, so makes sense not to discontinue it; maybe I caught the system right in the middle of an update a few days ago... glad I did, if that's the case! £50 shipped is better than £79+P&P for the same part in my book.

Thanks for that Paul, I ordered one up today...they convinced me that it is OEM but not Honda supplied so I'll give it a go.
Just got to figure out how the rascal goes in, not done one before but there doesn't seem to be many moving parts!

David Silvers are a reputable dealer and I would say any non OEM parts they sell are of equal quality to original as opposed to the Russian roulette of buying random Chinese manufactured pattern parts off of ebay.

It will be a tour max kit. They are Japanese and oem spec.

My genuine Honda parts want overrided my usual sense of bargain hunting. The thing's costing me a small fortune anyway, so genuine parts only this time round!
