Question about master cylinder with CBR caliper upgrade...

Hi,

I know the caliper upgrade has been covered in the past but I have a cbr600 caliper for my rvf and I'm wondering what master cylinder can I use to go with. I dont like the look of the reservoir on that model so Im wondering if lets say the 09 cbr 600 radial master cylinder will work no problem with this?

Thats just an example but would the newer fireblade master cylinders also work?

If so does anyone know if the stock rvf lever still fits as the tyga rvf levers are my favourite levers I've ever used haha


Cheers guys

I don't think your levers will be compatible with any of those radial master cylinders.

CBR929, CBR954 and SP1/2 also used similar calipers and have a remote res style master cylinder.

Cheers for the reply. Thats a shame but arent the 929 calipers and sp1 calipers 3/4 as opposed to 5/8 that the matching cbr caliper is?

Thanks for the info. Ill have a look around

Not sure, I use an 11/16 600rr m/c with my sp1 calipers, pressure and feel is great...

...but this is the integrated m/c you're trying to avoid!
