Do you need a whole master, or just a rebuild kit?

Well, you should look for a motorcycle salvage yard in your area. That is the best way to go.

Otherwise, ebay.

 Only 1 I found.

You also have 2 other options.

You can find a master from another bike and just fab a bracket to mount it. This probably wouldn't be too hard and would open up a wide range of masters. Something to consider.

Or you could attempt to fill the scratch with something resistant to brake fluid. A metal filler, jbweld might work. Then just smooth it out. If it doesn't work, not like you are out anything.

I would probably just get a rebuild kit and try that. Unless the scratch is REALLY deep, a rebuild might work just fine.

If you can, maybe get a pic of it and we can see the offending scratch.
