I've found a lot of MC on ebay that say they're XT225 but they're new parts and I don't think they're OEM so not sure just what they are. While it looks like 11mm is what most on the forum recommend, the parts don't indicate piston size so I don't know what they are.Yes, I run an 11mm from an XT/TT225 on one of my bikes and a 1/2" from a 550 Vision on the other. I got both off eBay for around $20. It may take a while to find a nice 11mm one because coming off a dirt bike, many are really trashed, lol. Here's the 11mm on my '78, a little "weathered" but so is the whole rest of the bike, so it fits in well, lol .....

The only parts that I needed to replace were the screws for the tops. Both give better brake "feel" and modulation, but the 11mm gives a bit more of it than the 1/2" one. However, this is at the expense of more lever travel, but I've grown used to it.
Also, I'm having trouble finding any with the brake light wire & not sure if I'd be able to connect the stock wiring.
I found this one & it looks like it might work but not sure. Maybe someone can enlighten me?
