using the standard master cylinder, i have a nice Brembo radial but because i race in a period class can't use i was told as no road bikes had them in the period, do you know of a better master cylinder i could use that's not radial ?

I dunno.

Best to use one from a bike that uses those calipers, aprilia rs250, ducatis etc.

A 98-9 cbr 900 master looks very similar to stock but is the right size.

I used a cagiva planet brembo master on my cb-1 and the lever clashed with the control pods. Could also be an issue with a stock duc master.

If you want it the 00-03 cbr 900 master was another technological step forwards, the last word before radials came in.

All the above will work well with big 4 pots, your stock master will have over long throw and be a bit vague in feel. But it will work and give great braking power from two fingers, if that doesn't trap your other fingers under the lever.

Hi Amorti
