  Can anyone tell me if there is another master cylinder from another Honda that is the same as the Valkyrie? I need one for the bike I have because the mirror threads are bad. if there is one that will give me a better chance of finding one.   Thanks Dannie

Which master cylinder are you referring to? The clutch, or the brake?

New ones are not that expensive. I think mine was less than $80.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

Yeah Mike, I saw that.  While I can't say for sure, pretty sure all Standards and Tourers use the same one and the only difference I could see on the Interstates was the clamp piece, yet it's listed in $90 range.

98 Tourer, unavailable, 99 Tourer $79 in stock.

Don't believe the master cylinder is used on any other honda, but that doesn't mean some other models wouldn't work.

Seems like a lot of work trying to figure out which one would.

This one will interchange, but likely more expensive!
Not positive, but I THINK it was OEM for the VTX 1800's.

I paid $137.40 at Partzilla.

My thanx to Sundaram Raman, a friend and member here. He is a wise man.

Bought it simply because of approximately 50% less 'squeeze pressure' needed.
Old left hand injuries made it worth replacing the original clutch cylinder, to me.

Hope this helps others as well: 22890-MCH-006 - M/CYL SUB-ASSY
I've loved many bikes, over the last 52 years of riding, but this Valkyrie machine may have propelled me headlong into IDOLATRY....

From memory the VTX has a slightly smaller piston clutch master.... which will work and give you a lighter clutch to use but has a little more movement to work.... I looked at swapping them but never got around to it :)

  Thanks everyone, that is just what I needed.

There have been filks that have replaced them with HD masters with no problems. Q master cylinder is a master cylinder. Getting it to mount to your buke is a different problem all together.
