Cylinder
Harley-Davidson master cylinders (m/c) are a crucial component to the safe operation of the motorcycle. The m/c houses the piston assembly and the brake fluid reservoir. When actuated by the hand or foot lever, the piston pressurizes the hydraulic system which then acts on the caliper piston, causing it to clamp the brake pads onto the brake rotor. This action converts the rotation force into heat energy, which is dissipated by the rotor. The rubber seals on the piston are prone to failure over time and are considered a critical wear point that must be repaired occasionally.
