In real world use, rear master cylinders found on a wide variety of H-D models from the late 50s through the early 80s have performed well, but now require regular rebuilding or replacement. GMA, a subsidiary of Belt Drives Limited, manufactures complete direct bolt-on replacement units for both Kelsey Hayes and Wagner style rear master cylinders.

Designed and manufactured using up-to-date technology and materials, the cylinders are direct bolt- on replacements for the OEM parts, provide superior performance, reliability and longevity and are available in black, polished and raw finishes. They have 5/8” bore, with a 1/8” NPT port that will accept various inverted flare adaptor fittings; rebuild kits available.
Also seen here, these premium quality ‘Black Out’ levers are “as rugged, durable and dependable as they are hi-tech in appearance”. They have a master cylinder with 5/8” bore and threaded ball end plunger. This design is said to provide positive engagement and precise movement of the piston and rubber cup reservoir seal for positive, smooth stopping performance.

GMA controls are secured to bars with camlocks, and the switch housing “blends in for an exceptionally clean profile.” An available hydraulic clutch master features a 9/16” bore to match common aftermarket slave cylinders; designed for use with 1” bars and also available with chrome and polished finish.
Finally, these sideways adjustable, custom exhaust compatible, ergonomic “rider friendly” floorboards have a non-skid rubber cushioning insert and unique profile that provides plenty of room and comfort for rider and passenger; a replaceable skid button on the bottom protects the boards in aggressive cornering.
