    1980 GS550L Master Cylinder

    Is there any other suzuki models out there I can swap a master cylinder off of? I find the one on my 80 GS550L so UGLY.

    Your bike has a 14mm master cylinder bore. Just about anything that size will work. Dual disc 550's have a 16mm master cylinder. If you use a larger bore master than the one you have now the lever will require more force for the same amount of braking force but the lever will be more firm. Keep in mind that you may have to do some wiring work to get the brake light to function - not hard. Also, you might want to consider replacing the brake line at the same time you change the master. I built my own teflon/stainless brake line recently from Earl's parts and it only cost $40. Money well spent.

    Good luck.
