Smaller Front Brake Lever Master Cylinder?

[Guest]

Is there a smaller front brake/master cylinder assembly I can use on my 77 gs750?

I'd like to chop off an inch or two off the handle bars as I find them a bit too wide, but need the front brake assembly to be a bit smaller in size
but compatible for the bike.

Any ideas?

There should be a bore size stamped somewhere on the MC body (14mm, 7/8, etc). If you replace the MC with another of the same bore than you can run whatever style you like.

Guys on the ZRX1200 forum like to use EX500 master cylinders. Not sure if they are smaller in physical size. Most brake systems use 5/8" bores and are normally stamped. The guys in the ZRX forum like 1/2" bores used on EX's as they claim they have better initial feel and squeeze harder. check them over as some years have 5/8 bores also. You can use any master cyl. I am using Triumph ones on my 1100E,cause I like the feel and I have plenty of levers
