If I recall correctly, some of the very earliest 899 Blades had a 5/8 m/c fitted as stock, but this was replaced with a 9/16 job after a very short period of production rather than during a model change. ie one of those annoying things where you need the chassis number to know what you need for your bike.

Every day is a school day..nice google skills

I'm rolling a 5/8 with remote res from a 99 blade then...bosh

Happy to be corrected on the above list, of course! ;-)

Confusingly, Honda mark some in metric and some in Imperial. My NC35 has a 14mm front. I'm sure the Blade one I have is marked 5/8.

So you should modify, sorry, no idea what with. Sold that one to a guy on here for his son, funnily enough appeared back on here 2 weeks later, from Chester! That's another story tho...
do tell.

i am running SP2 calipers on the std master and it works pretty damn well.
to be fair they took some reverse bleeding but work really well now on standard hoses too.
