You got the link?

Be advised they may send a 14mm like the ebay numpty did for me.
And to my knowledge and rick olivers only the above are the same looking and size as the nc30 all bar the 5/8 internals.

Not to hand, but it's listed as 1998 FireBlade, and my info says that that model was 5/8 not 14mm. It's the remote res type as I firmly believe that the built in res type like the 600rr3 which the calipers I have came from will collide with the air duct on the NC35 and I'd rather not take the risk! If they send a 14mm one, they can have the bloody thing back. It's bad enough they've charged £8 post and sent it second class!!

I bought one listed as a 5/8 after weeks of mailing millions of breakers who all failed to put the size.

Most ignored me.

The when it arrived it was a 14mm and said they didnt have any 5/8s! I returned it and he didnt pay for my return postage then i threatend negative feedback and he coughed up, it was there fault after all.

I bought a blade m/c for my bigger nissins - it looks identical to the original and is 5/8

Pretty sure it came from an RRX

Thanks for the help everyone, the mc i have has a remote reservoir, i got a lever with it which looks like a blade lever due to having the lever position adjuster on top, its a silver knob with 5 positions unlike the nc30/35 which has the ratchet type adjuster. However i found an old nc30/35 lever knocking about so tried that in the mc and it fits and works perfectly

is there a noticeable difference from using a 5/8" mc over a standard 14mm mc?
