Master Cylinder Upgrade
« on: June 03, 2019, 19:46:42 »
Has anyone changed the master cylinder on their DL1000. What did you go for and did it improve braking? I have just fitted new wavy discs and am thinking of upgrading master cylinder as well.

For best results go for the radial type, GSXR1000, CBR1000 amongst others. I used a CBR954 master cylinder , it's got the biggest bore of them all at 19mm,  however you will have to replace the brake lines, move the start switch further left and buy a Clamp mirror mount .
