What Size Master Cylinder to work with VJ22/6 Pot Calipers?

[muttsnuts]

Ok Guys, just finishing off a build and come to do the brakes and need to work out what front master cylinder to use with the vj22 front end with 6 pot Hiyabusa calipers on, all of you who have done hyrbids will clearly know this, so rather than me mucking about trying to work it out, I thought it easier and quicker to ask the question

Quite happy to buy what people recommend, ideally want one that will accept trick levers etc, can have a seperate or built in reservior

thanks in advance

To tokico 6 pots on mine with Fazer master cylinder.

Built in res, and mirror mount. Cheap billet levers widely available and the matching clutch lever fits an lc2 clutch perch with a couple of small spacers. (Paid under £20 for mine. Bought 3 pairs)

No excessive lever travel and have to warn people when they ride it. Brutal braking.

standard RGV is 5/8 IIRC, and I found larger units to be a bit dead feeling so I now have a 14mm version of the same RGV shape Nissin unit from a GSXR I think.

Mine feels like excessive lever travel when being pushed round the garage, but on the road you just need to stroke it with a finger and its good, grab a handful and its brutal. It did take a lot of bleeding to get it to work that well tho, those calipers are a nightmare for that.

use a hyabusa unit dave
or gsxr1000

I had the GSXR1000 radial unit on my setup, I didnt like it, perhaps the more conventional unit is better?

hi dave any unit that as got a 14mm bore should work fine most modern bikes use them
