My other ride is a 2007 Boulevard C90 Trike. The trike kit is a Lehman kit installed by Lehman and sold the trike new thru the Suzuki dealer. I am currently in search of the rear brake master cylinder rebuild kit. Lehman removed  the OEM master cylinder and installed their own which is a much larger diameter unit. Lehman was bought out by Champion and all the spare parts disappeared or thrown out in 2012. I have two contacts for Lehman parts but in the meantime I am asking if anyone on this site knows of a supplier that provides the piston cups and O-rings to the different parts assemblers of rebuild kits? The piston is good, the cup has started to deteriorate with some of it adhering to the cylinder wall. The rear brakes started to fail so I just decided to jump into the master cylinder. 

Thank you advance for any and all suggestions.

Can you take a picture of the m/c and post it here?  Often the trike kit manufacturer uses an automotive m/c which might be the case on your ride. I'd check the housing for model # or part #.

Hello John, it has been a while since I posted pictures here, I will post a picture if my phone calls today do not work out. I went down the automotive route, so far the manager at my local NAPA store was no help.  Some one is making these for the trike builders. I will update this thread with the info for others out there with trikes. Thank you sir,

Hi Brian,
I am sure if you visit www.triketalk.com you will get a good response to your question. There are several Brand name forums on this site, Lehman is just one of them.

Also, Bikes & Trikes in Boggstown, Indiana built my trike. They are a former Lehman Dealer and good people. If you can't get your answer give them a call, ask for Art (317) 835-4544.
Good Luck,
Bob
