z1 repro master cylinder

Anyone have experience with this part: scramblercycle.highwire.com/product/kawa...ylinder-reproduction

I replaced the leaking non OEM master with an eBay Chinese special. It doesnt fit the look of the bike, the mirror mount is in the wrong place, and the lever has always been mushy. Looking for a replacement, and I prefer the more vintage look of the z1 vs what came on my '78.

Those masters work very well. I have them on two of my bikes now. Made in Taiwan - I believe that's better than being made in mainland China. I buy mine from David Silver Spares.

Thanks. I went ahead and ordered one from the vendor on eBay. The website was giving me issues.
