Rogue Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 long story short, i have a 4th gen, and i would like to use a remote resevoir system, off a newer bike. what master cyclinders will work if any? Any with the same bore size. Say from a Super chicken for example, but I cannot see the benefit unless you are fitting uprated calipers at the same time.

SEBSPEED Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 As was stated, check your m/c for bore size(it'll likely be a number inside a circle), then shop around for units that are the same size. Besides the clearance, you can gain braking feel by getting a radial brake master from a late model sportbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 CBR929/954 should work. With any m/cyls that have a remote reservoir you may need to relocate the reservoir with a custom bracket and longer hose, to ensure it clears the fairings.

douglasthecook Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I used a master cylinder from an Rc-51 on my VFR. It works really well with the 954 front forks and brakes. I feel like I can do stoppies with one finger now(not that I do), the brakes are that strong!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted August 8, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ignore the two posts above...because you have OEM calipers, not 4-piston calipers that match the master cylinders off the 929/954/RC51. :fing02: The only Honda sportbike I know of that has a 12.7mm (1/2") master cylinder (i.e., the same bore as yours) in a remote-reservoir configuration is the CBR400RR, which are not exactly thick on the ground in the 'States. (Blackbird is also 1/2"--is it remote-res, though?) (Super Hawk/Firestorm is 14mm, btw...) (Certain NSR250s might also be likely suspects, but again, not common.) How about CB-1? Good luck.

Blackbird is also 1/2"--is it remote-res, though? It's not - it looks identical to the VFR m/cyl assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
