I kept stewing about the factory master cylinder thinking it would work because they increased the bore size for the 2010 MY, I don't remember what the 09's size was, I do know it was smaller. I'm pretty sure they went to a 11/16 bore size in 2010 which until the other day I didn't realize the PM master cylinder has a 11/16 bore size. Then when I saw the parts list from overkill and found out it would be a month or longer before the new PM master cylinder would be completed I told myself that was the direction I would head until they get the new master cylinder completed.
I figure I'll give it a little time and call Steve to see if he has any updates on how things are moving along, unless he calls me 1st.

The black around the mudflap bolts is a carbon fiber vynil from 3M. It matches the inserts on the tank and Tour Pak. The front fender is a 21in Benchmark fender from Klockwerks. I had to go with a 21 in fender because the stock didn't fit the 21in wheel.

OK, help me I'm lost. When I stomp on my rear break, I can lock up the rear tires, If I press, I slow down. Never really had any disagreements with the rear breaks, seems like they are doing what they are supposed to do. I've been following this thread a while. Looking on the PM web site, it looks like the rear break retro is around $1500. From you and Young Mike, the master cylinder doesn't fit, PM doesn't have a fix now, and for a few dollars more you can BUY a different banjo that you have to bend a little and reuse the stock master cylender..... Whole lot of hay wiring, substituting, and reusing for 1500 bongo bucks. I'm sure the PM break setup is more responsive, but when some of the stuff doesn't fit, is the stuff that is left worth the $1500, or did I interpret the price wrong. Wife and I ride the hell out of our trikes and have no problem spending a lot of money on them.... can't take it with us, but sometimes I just don't understand.

I didn't pay full retail either, and the labors free. I picked mine up for $1187 shipped.

In my case I had a couple reasons, one is I ride 2 up and pull a trailer 90% of the time so I figured 4 pistons should stop better than 1. The other reason is purely cosmetic, I have new PM rims which show a bunch more of the brake caliper so I figured I'd dress that area up a touch. At the time I didn't anticipate having to do any more than bolt and ride. I could use the PM master cylinder with the only issue being it may not last real long being blasted with the heat from the front exhaust pipe. So while PM is working through the issue I'll bolt on the stock master cylinder and wait.
