GMA Engineering Wagner Style Rear Master Cylinder 5/8 Bore for 1958-1979 Harley-Davidson FL FX
When a vintage Big Twin restoration calls for more than the stock system can deliver, the foundation of the upgrade starts at the master cylinder. The GMA Wagner gives riders of Panhead and Shovelhead-era machines the confident, firm pedal feel that transforms a period restoration into a bike built to be ridden โ not just admired.

Nick –
I’m giving the master cylinder 5-stars because I’ve used GMA M/Cyls. in numerous builds. Had to return this particular unit to BDL/GMA for possible flaw in the burnishing process of the bore. I don’t anticipate a problem with GMA correcting the issue.
