Do all NC29's have 1/2 inch front master cylinders?
Mine doesn't look like the original, it has 14 marked on it instead of 1/2.
The brakes seem to be very wooden, just wondering if this is the problem.

Re: Front master cylinder
14mm is the standard NC29 master cylinder. If the brakes feel wooden you most likely have seized piston/slider/pad issues.
I run standard master cylinder/pads/discs on my NC29 race bike and you can stand it on the front wheel with just two fingers
1/2" is VFR/RVF standard fit.

Re: Front master cylinder
Oops edit last post - just checked on my bike 1/2" diameter IS standard on CBR400NC29 - 14mm is VFR/RVF NC30/35 standard fit.
