If you you own an S2R1000 and your clutch master cylinder starts to leak, you'll soon find out that the cylinder is an odd size IE small and a service Kit is not available, and all the bike shops you try and Mr Brembo will tell you it was designed as a throw away item, so it appears your only option is to fork out a large amount of cash and replace it.
I flatly refused to do this !
A chance meeting with a customer of mine guided me to the following company :
Pacific Seals
Petone
Wellington
New Zealand
(I live in NZ)

They manufacture seals and when I told them I'd been told my cylinder was a throw away item they laughed!
I sent them the cylinder and they manufactured 2 X new seals for $25
each, including the postage my bike was back on the road for $60!

RESULT OR WHAT! ;D
They are great to deal with and as my bike has numerous cylinders 5 I think, I'll be calling them again when needed, the fridge magnet firmly in place!

My next post will outline how to ditch the over priced feeble clutch ducati make and replace with a decent one! Half the price that lasts twice as long!

Feedback on the above welcomed! 8)

Howie, their dollar is even worse than ours. Good a local company is that versatile on low run products.
