It shows up as "Rear Master..." on the hompage.

You ain't right, Trip, but you're alright

The 08 SV is ABS so be sure to verify that they interchange. I doubt it though.

I didn't know that Stephanie....so we need to find you an 03-07 master cylinder and caliper. Course there was the one for $65, still a good deal for the whole assembly I think.

Make sure the bleeder is pointing up on the rear caliper. If it's pointing down, you have to take the caliper off to bleed them to get the air out. If it's down, and they didn't take it off while they bled them, that's easy to fix cheap, and you'd probably find the new one you buy messed up too...

An aprilia guy catches this. LOL. I gave up on my rear brake a loooong time ago.

It's actually been a little over a year since I had a rear brake. My friends helped me work on it once several months ago and I've had a few others look at it. Another friend of mine wants to see what he can do before I buy another. He seems to think he can fix it so...

And the bleeder valve is pointing up.

This causes all sorts of problems on Aprilia's.
