Brake master cylinder upgrade

Post by nick_c »

Morning people.

I have gotton hold of some GSXR K1 front calipers and I am now looking for a brake master cylinder to upgrade to aswell.

I have been told that the zxr750 one will be a straight swap, but will the ZX7R master cylinder be a straight swap also, I need to keep the brake light connections as it is a road bike.

Thank you very much, Nick.

the 7R master cylinder should do it nicely, and should also have the brake light switch. Theres one or two members here that have done the upgrade but not sure what master cylinders they are running.

Sorry it has taken so long to reply, got hold of a master cylinder from a ZX7R looks exactly the same to me so should fit a treat. Thank's for the help.

Will be getting some Hel brake lines soon so I will let you know what i think of the complete brake set up.

Cheer's, Nick.

its basicly the same M/C but with a bigger bore thus moving more fluid!
