Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This master cylinder assembly is specifically designed for Harley Davidson FL 1200 models manufactured between 1972 and 1977 for the front brake system. Always verify your motorcycle's year and model before purchasing.
Setup: Installation requires basic mechanical skills. Ensure the motorcycle is securely supported. Disconnect the old assembly, carefully routing and connecting the brake line. Fill the reservoir with the appropriate DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid (check your service manual) and bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove all air. Torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
Care: Clean the chrome exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish. Periodically check the brake fluid level and condition, replacing it as recommended by the service manual (typically every two years). Inspect the brake lever and associated components for wear.
