I need a new clutch slave cylinder. Which ones will fit?

My bike is an 86 vf500f. The slave leaks so much that I carry brake fluid everywhere I go so I can add some when it gets low. I replaced the seals twice and the piston once with no improvments. I have come to the conclusion that the metal on the cylinder itself has worn to a larger inside diamater (the clymer manual actually states that this will happen and there is a listed service limit..which mine appears to be way past). If I press the piston in with my thumb I can see fluid bubble from the seam between piston OD and cylinder ID.

So I want a new assembly. One that isnt worn out :frown:. I see on ebay that there are a lot to choose from but prices range from $20 to $50.
Does anyone know if I can put a slave from a 750 on my 500? or if the engine size made any difference on this part? I read in another similiar thread that all 1st and 2nd gen slaves are the same, but the poster said that they didnt know about the engine size compatability.

i want this one Honda VF750F VF700F Clutch Slave Cylinder 83 85 | eBay but only if its going to work lol

different part #'s but the only diff is the 750 is a 22860- MB2-003 and the 500 is a 22860- MF2-003...maybe someone more familair with the parts codes could take it from there....not available new

 

Dont know aboot the 500 but the 700-800 is the same part for all years.

 

All I can tell you is that they have different part numbers, '86 VF500F 22860-MF2-003, '84 VF750F 22860-MB2-003

 

Sorry Ishark, I don't know how I missed your post!! DO'H!

 

give this a try, they're a long time Honda dealer and have a lot of old stock Part Request from House of Honda

 

Looking closley at those diagrams it seems that the bolt patterns on the slave cylinders are different before 86. the 86 700 looks the same as the 86 500, but the pre 86 700 is different.
