Title: Front brake master cylinder off a gsxr?
Post by: Jagged on July 19, 2016, 04:21:17 PM
grabbed some new drag bars, love em. but they are 30mm short due simply to the width of my brake fluid reservoir.
having difficulty finding appropriately sized drag bars so im looking at other options in regards to my front brake controls since i dont like how the stock ones will look crooked anyway
came across these, a front master off a 04 gixxer 6, just wanted to know a few things, starting with will these function at all with the rest of my brake system? or will i just need to replace the front lines perhaps?

sorry i hate posting ebay pics but i cant find anything else to save my life

The last picture in the ebay listing: see how it has 3/4 cast into it? That's the master cylinder piston diameter. What size is the stock GS500 MC piston?

I've been contemplating the same thing. I bought the hay balsa bracket and brake, now I need to do the line and upgrade the MC. I just don't know if it'll work well
