Hey All,
I posted this within a different Master Cylinder thread a few weeks back--trying to keep topics in line, but I didn't get any bites...so figured I'd start a new one instead with hopes of getting some info from anyone that may have intel.
I'm looking to get a smaller bored piston MC vs. my stock 14mm MC...This is more for my own interest to improve performance versus the actual need to do so as my brakes work just fine and I don't really have any concerns, especially from a 37 yr old bike. (In case you are wondering: I've cleaned/rebuilt the MC and Caliper about a year + ago; flushed/new fluid, SS Brake Line, Vesrah pads from MMM, XS performance rotor and all functions very well.) Really no complaints except that it's more like a two or 3 finger pull vs. a 1 or two finger pull to get solid brakes and I think a smaller bore will make them even better.
I have found a few smaller bore MC options, but here's the delima: I'd like to keep the lever I have got for my stock MC as it matches the Clutch side. (I know, I know...anal. LOL. I really like to keep things balanced, and for me levers just have to be the same left/right).
Does anyone know if Mike's MC (# Part #08-0255), will allow the use of use my current stock lever? Or if there's an even smaller piston bore (11mm?) that will fit my stock lever? Alternatively, if there's a set (Clutch/MC) that would work too...oh, and not black levers. Ha ha.
Any thoughts? (Other than I'm nuts... I already know that).
Thanks!
