    Good day,

    I saw that on my 2004 VFR 800 the secondary master cylinder was leaking today. Honda Canada has none in stock until August. So for now, what I would like to do, is to bypass it. Or block it. Is there any safe ish way of doing it? I was just going to replace the banjo bolt with a normal one so no fluid can go. I would loose one the use of one piston on the back.

    It is either this....kinda redneck fix, keep full use of front brake and loose 1 out of 3 piston in the back, or buy a new bike, or not riding for half the season.

    I'm leaning on buying a second vfr 800 of the same generation for parts. Parts are starting to be difficult to get for it.

    Thank you! That shipping rate + duty is insane. Better than a redneck fix.
