Lehman/99 GW 1500 Mastercylinder replacement or reb uild?

[Johndoe]

Newbie, not sure what to do but here goes. I just purchased a 1999 1500 GW. with a Lehman trike conversion. First problem I found is NO rear brakes, nothing, has fluid in reservoir. Guessing it the master cylinder. How do I figure out What master cylinder was used by Lehman? No idea when or where it was triked or what kit was used at that time. I almost have it out of the trike and thinking maybe just rebuild it but how do I find the necessary parts to do that. Any help would be appreciated, I am much better with the mechanics than this computer stuff. Thanks.

Hi John, :welcome: to Trike Talk and your first post

Lehman trike parts are getting harder to find

I would suggest trying Ebay

Thanks to everyone that responded. Once I dug into it it actually looks exactly like the original 1999 GW. part. Everything matches visually. I did remove it from the trike, not an easy job but watched a few video's and got it out but now can't find a good one to show an easy way to install the new one. Found new ones from $280 down to around $30 both on Ebay and Amazon. Bought a new one from Ebay and received it today but would sure like to find a good video to show the actual installation. don't want to do this a few times because I should have done it a different way. Really appreciate all the comments and hope someone comes up with a correct or easier way to install this. Thanks again.
