Hi Guys

I've just added a 1977 R100\7 (what an awesome bike) to my collection and while out on a ride this past weekend i noticed that if i pull on the front brake lever slowly i can get it to touch the grip without much braking going on. Eish!!!

I assume this means i have a master cylinder in need of an overhaul?

Does anyone know where i can get the necessary parts?

While i've got the tank off would anyone recommend upgrading to a braided hose from the reservoir to the caliper, would that improve braking significantly?

My bike has a single disk with the reservoir under the tank.

Cheers
