That's the one I was trying to post. Wonder why the url wouldn't work for me?

Ok, I'm lost. My leaking master cylinder says "14mm" on the bottom, so it's for a single caliper setup.

I'd found this one on ebay:

tinyurl.com/4lvu5m

It's the one civlengr3 bought, and says he's pleased with, although he didn't say whether he had single or dual calipers.

It says it's for dual calipers, but it also says it has a 14mm bore. That would seem to be oxymoronic to me.

?

Civilengr3 said he has one of those 14mm aftermarket master cylinders on his bike, and it works fine. Does anyone know whether he has single or dual calipers?

I've just been given a 1977 KZ650C Bobber and I plan to replace the handlebar controls with a pair off of a HD Sporster. My question is, would it be possible to use the HD 11/16 Master Cylinder on the stock brakes? I figure the large bore size would be able to handle the dual calipers on my bike, but I wasn't sure if there is anything else I should be mindful of.
