Just sent my foot brake off to NK to get the little bracket welded on and have lined the YPVS rear master cylinder on the bracket but because I have the RGV banana arm in, it looks like I'm going to have to space the whole hanger out with spacers so the rear master cylinder doesn't get bashed by the swingarm if that makes sense !
The way the banjo bolt exits out makes it even tighter too for clearance
I know this is a popular mod, so does anyone have advice or a few pics of how much the hanger has to be spaced out by ? |

Local lads on the performance bikes have done away with their master cylinder and have a 4 inch high plastic clear pipe

I would think you're gonna have to space the hangers out anyway for the exhausts to clear the swingarm, 10mm spacers on mine too

Maybe not !
I just spaced it out with washers and because the RGV banana arm is so bulky and the design of the YPVS master cylinder with the banjo mounting hole facing the back and the fact I was going to have a hydraulic brake switch too, there just isn't room
I had already cut off the bracket for the original brake switch DOH ! so the design of the YPVS m.cylinder is wrong for this build ?
If the banjo hole was at the top then it wouldn't be an issue
Don't know what to do here :-(
If I mount the master cylinder on the other side of the bracket then I have clearance but no room for the spring on the foot brake, or in reality does it need that spring ?? |

Make a different bracket for a different cylinder
Thunderace and xjr1300 I think use a rear brembo master with different mounts but the banjo exits at the top

I don't need that return spring though do I ?
Does anyone know the thread pitch for the hydraulic banjo bolt switch , 1.00mm or 1.25 ?
Going to buy a switch where the wires come out at a right angle and see what room I have |

Ive seen similar problems with the rear master, and I'm fitting a KR1 rear master, as a trial, the fitting comes out the top, so hopefully is clear of the swingarm. Also fitting rearsets and I've been at it weeks now, trying to fit exhaust, and mounting brackets without it looking pants.

I had already done this mod to my red LC but the way the swing arm is on that with a welded on NK subframe for the shock, the back of the master cylinder sits in the gap between the top and bottom of the swingarm sections

Yes but £85 so no LOL
They do look nice though
That pic I put up of the "pancake" switch , I hadn't seen one of those before so that may be an option

Anyone on this im having the same problem rear master cylinder and banjo hitting rgv swingarm As far as I am aware it is the banjo bolt exiting out the rear of the cylinder that causes more problems I had to space out my 31k hybrid for that reason Gathering bits for an LC hybrid now so will be using a master cylinder that the banjo exits out the top to improve clearance Steve |

You could get some ally plate off ebay and make your own bracket. If you have one of the brackets Norbo sells, you could copy the lower part that mounts where the footrest bolts pass through, and then reshape the top part to suit a different master cylinder with a top hose mounting. A cardboard template transferred to the ally sheet, cut and shape and you'd be sorted. 3 or 4 mm ally will give a strong bracket. Dusty  |
