1978 Front brake master cylinder diameter please

Hi
Can any one help me with the size/diameter in inches and millimeters of the piston of the front brake master cylinder on a 1978 Z1R please.

I want to find a replacement for the old one from a new bike that will work well with the 2 original calipers.

Thank you

Eli

Not sure about the Z1R, isn't that the master with the cable also?
But 5/8" 16mm is the common size for the more normal Kawasaki masters with dual front discs.

Hi
Yes it is, most new sport bikes are with 16mm front master cylinder so I think this will work fine, I hope?
