docc Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 *Groan* . . . in a continued effort to put off crabbing my SpineFrame and get back on the road > prima de presto Scud did some access comparison on the early, unbraced, RedFrame and it *may be* possible to swap the slave ("command cylinder") without removing the swingarm. I've long read that they can be a bugger to get off. I'll give that a try and see if the trouble resolves. If so, the M/C kit can go in the spares cabinet. Pushing back against the funky blues, which is: having to be without my beloved RedFrame Sport [edit 22 June, 2017: MI says "no slave cylinder available" ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Josh spotted the very interesting similarity in the V11 "command cylinder" (01086330) and that of the Breva (perhaps the Norge, Griso, and 1200SPORT also?) : 05086330 Is the only difference the inclusion of the bleeder?

andy york Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 for some reason I thought I looked at that. Maybe I spoke with someone at MI. don't remember. I have another one if you need it. Actually I have 2 ....Scud sent me a used one - and I think I ordered 2 when I got mine from harpers. it had obviously been sitting on the shelf for years andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks, man! I have an '06-'07 Breava unit coming off ebay. It would be great to compare them before I start jacking the Sport apart. Maybe compare piston dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume with 1.4 billion miles on the V11 you must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume with 1.4 billion miles on the V11 you must. Haha , well I have a 1990 Honda GB500 I bought new. It's on the verge of turning over 50,000 miles. Looks like it might make it this go 'round. Several have braced me for the barrage that may occur if I ride the GB to the South'n Spine Raid . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm hoping this is one for the En-psycho-pedia of Parts. It will be a great thing for this community to know that the later [CARC] clutch slave fits the V11 simply by swapping over the bleeder. Should know in the next week or so . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'll have the Breva slave in hand in a few hours if anyone can compare some measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My Greenie's is dangling now. Post your measurements and I can compare - possibly late this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So, the Grimeca clutch slave cylinder arrived disassembled (better than coming full of hydraulic fluid!) and includes the three fasteners, which are in good condition. There are two O-rings inside the bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 First question: are both of the threaded inputs on the V11 slave the same size/ thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Well to answer that question, I'll have to get air in the system. But ok, I planned to flush out the fluid anyway. My questions: Where's that spring go and what's it supposed to do? Why two banjo bolts? (why no bleeder?) And the fasteners are different - which is probably good, because the original screws with allen heads are quite weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy york Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 spring probably goes behind "puck". I let ya know in the morn about thread size and bolt size ah hell be right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy york Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 both holes on the top are the same - 10mm x 1.0 3 fasteners are on 50mm centers piston is 30 mm andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
