HTMR Vapor Blast Gun: howtomotorcyclerepair.com/htmrvaporblastgun

Question 1: 1986 Honda VT1100 - front master rebuild kit not available.
Answer: Cody will log into his Honda system and try to xref the PN for you. Otherwise there is a really nice guy on ebay selling one for only $999.99:

ebay.us/80XU8d

Question 2: 95psi compression after full rebuild
Answer: Make sure you are using a tester that has the Schrader valve at the end of the hose. Watch this video:
