Hi everyone. Im getting ready to replace my clutch lever assembly and master cylinder. I have clip-on's so I'm considering the sloped 14mm bore.

Or the standard non sloped 13mm bore.. Because that's what I currently have.

I'm not sure what my MC bore size is currently... Installed by PO... But feels good and stops well. Lever travel is good.
Both of these options from mikes xs say they are for single disc... But I found this quote in a thread
"MMM said:
I recommend 13mm. The stock 14 mm also works well. SS line mandatory for
these high ratio applications. Due to the flexy nature of these calipers,
there is no room for error in bleeding"
Anybody have any experience with either of these specific options from mikes used in a dual disc setup. Recommendations? Are they decent products? Never sure with mikes...
I have an 81 special. SS lines. Single piston calipers.
Also. Any advice on measuring my current MC bore to verify its diameter? Never had to do anything with my brakes before besides new pads so I've never disassembled my MC.
Got any pics 5twins? I know you do!
Thanks everyone.
