Front master cylinder has developed a small leak. 
I've replaced the washer between the plastic reservoir and aluminium body but still leaking. 
I am thinking I need a rebuild kit?
Logged on to Realoem but the bit i need (number 21) is greyed out / not available?
What are my alternatives? Any one local got  spares?

If you search through the Brakes section in either Motobins or Motorworks websites, they both should have them in stock.  Not cheap though. 

The size required is underneath the master cylinder, 13mm I think.

Eire1400, if you go back to your your link for the RealOEM page, then up one level you will see there are two exploded views of the right side control; pick the centre graphic and you will see the plunger is nominated as item 23 (same item as greyed out 21 in your link) and it is indeed 13 mm as Tackler suggested.

Cheers

I have had to do mine and the leak ended up meaning rebuild kit and piston but ok since.

However a little thing I noticed was that the wet weather and lever angle was trapping water that dripped looking like fluid. No brake problem and no fluid level drop.

For what its worth I have found that bleeding brakes on old brake systems buggers the seals on the wear ridges. Like when you are changing fluid. If doing it the old fashioned way don't drive the lever/pedal fully home on each pump stroke.

The one numbered as 21 is for ABS, number 23 is for non ABS.

Thanks all.
Just rang Kearys bmw in little island. 91 euro for the repair kit. Shocked
48 pounds in motorworks.
Will double check the size stamp and order tomorrow.
Suppose front brakes are kind of important.

Motorworks probably about €72-4 delivered. Worth trying Keary's for a 10% discount if they have them in stock but I suspect not.

Lee Honda had a contract for maintaining police bikes and may still have some stock from them. I got K100 brake pads off them last year when they were fitting new tyres for me. Just a thought.
