Master Cylinder Replacement

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationLooking to replace my stock M/C on my KZ900. I currently have Euro bars installed on the bike and my current stock M/C is to high and too long, so it's getting in the way of a new bikini fairing I I have been trying to install. It will not allow the fairing to sit farther back and down on that side. You can see where it is hitting the reservoir.



Quick search on eBay, and found this to be promising:




The reservoir seems lower to the bars. Will need to find the dimensions on the size. But it looks more compact (lower and shorter).

My question is, what do I have to consider for using it with my stock single disk KZ900 caliper (volume, etc) ?
This unit has a 14mm bore.
Any other options out there?

Note: Have thought about adjusting the handle bars. But I like the way they are set now with regards to comfort.

14mm bore should be correct for single disk. The dual disks use 5/8" bore. Ed

The stock m/c at hand may have its size marked or stamped somewhere on it, such as 14mm (for single disc) or 5/8" (for dual discs).

Good Fortune! :)
