I thought the oilheads list had just disappeared, but right in
time it shows up :)

Just returned from a trip to Washington St. from SF Bay area on
my 1997 GS. All went well - EXCEPT, the front master cylinder went
from very little leaking to so much I had to add fluid twice to get
home.
Now I MUST fix it!!
Question - rebuild or replace?
What has your experience been?
If I replace I can go BMW or an aftermarket master cylinder (Magura
from Beemer Boneyard).
