Filo4You: if you cannot find the problem i suggest taking it to a pro to help you out with your problem they will be able to tell you right away what the problem is, you can then either get them to fix it or get the parts yourself and do it yourself.. as for a master to buy one brand new if you dont know anyone your looking at $200 plus.. and who says you need to have 2 people to bleed a system? what opening up all the nipples and letting it all drip out what does that need 2 people to do it? no.... u dont know me so dont say its hard to belive i didnt have a go at no one so drop it idiot and im sure thay dont need you to stick up for them fight your own battles!!

Yes u can do it with two people just dont push pedal all the way to the floor due to possible pitting in master cylinder

vlsleeper if i was you i would stop talking crap.. calling me an idiot wow i am so hurt by your words and i dont need to know you.. you talk more **** then i take a dump in a toilet.. and i was not sticking up for him i was just tell you "mr know it all" what he was saying is correct.. net your going to tell me that the VL rocker covers are different form a turbo to a non turbo... what benny said is correct... what never seen a brakes mechanic open up all the bleeders and let it drip? geez i dont know where some of you people have been then... as benny said let it drip and top the master up so it does not run dry.. Filo4You: yes that is correct if you want to know more info take it to your mechanic or a brakes mechanic and get them to look at it.. they will tell you what the problem is and then you can go from there to fix it.

Hey dude not that what ur saying doesnt makes sense but everyone here has failed to remember that the braking system works diagonally. Meaning if he only has fronts and no rears then its more likey a blockage somewhere than a master cylinder. coz if the master cylinder was shagged then he would loose braking capacity to all brakes, or if only the primary cup torn then he would loose front left and rear right. if it were my car id get brake hose clamps and clamp of the front brakes then push your brake pedal c what happens, does it sink? does it go rock hard? then clamp the rears off and check the fronts this way u narrow it down.just replacing the master cylinder on a hunch is expensive if it turns out that u only needed to replace your rear wheel cylinders
