Radial master for 6 pots

[Shifty]

Hi kids, after a recommendation for a bolt-on radial master to suit standard 6pot setup.

I don't know anything about sizing etc so looking to something someone else has used and been happy with the result.

No money for an aftermarket flash thing, something off another Suzuki or other sportsbike that I can find on eBay easily.

Cheers!

There are mounting kits online I've no experience of them but others will have good luck .
Be aware of disc sizes and spacing as I've had to space out my disc's 2mm on the wheel each side and the calipers 5mm as I'm using a gsx1400 wheel and disc's with bking forks and radial calipers

For my money I would keep the master cylinder and ditch the 6 pots, there was a write up in
one of the UK magazines where they upgraded an 01 GSXR1000 (6 pots) to 4 Pots off a newer
GSXR braking distance decreased by 10m or so from 160klm/hr if my memory is correct changed out to a newer
master cylinder no real change with the newer master cylinder and 6 pots. Posted it up on the old org and have since
lost the link. I have done the 4 pot change 01-03 GSXR 750 I think but check if going down that path, details should
be https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=193.0 .

I can definitely vouch for the 4 pot conversion..
Front brakes are excellent and maintenance is far easier !

Evening gents. Yeah i trust all your advice on 4 pots being better. I also think clip posted by Barmy is a great advice. Ive been looking hard at all stuff. Mates mt10 doesnt have great brakes but can be fixed with R1 master. Takes bore size from 17.5mm to 15. Longer travel but more power. I really dont want much better brakes just a touch more feel. Does anyone know bore size of 1400 master cylinder?

Thanks Mliv, had forgotten last years posts. So TL1000 is correct needed but i dont like the remote resevoir much.Will start searching for 14 mm that has integral fluid like 14.

Would this one work/ be ok. Has correct bore size. correct bar size. https://www.ebay.com/itm/14mm-Front-Hydraulic-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Honda-CB-Cb750-Cb650sc-Cb650-CX-GL/283514666491?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item4202ca7dfb:g:530AAOSwE-RdAUNN&enc=AQAEAAAB4BPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qXqqxamnwGYH2Sz7rHhmK13vgrkXIVZIO9308vuAldLYwXDA4jM8hDghxKhPBtv2PZyzbSFnYBXK5eH%2BckHLPKQR3z7%2F79c6OlrORsuJ64FkapC6YLjLHt110iepFdA2HfQT82XpMk5ixM3q4wy3hfj6IPCtYLZ89o1jM92P1sMIa1Zso7%2FaBFmelu7d3jZQkCJzfbmasqZAQUlXJryitc239n2ya9%2BjK8mpZlCtnmFZ%2FcS2X6zTfbKHIPsA2%2BFMwxJzgIOqRv5wjKhsEPXW07YoRabIYq1XO08x2%2FhS24Zb4z5kt7sHJU%2FuOaOhZxq12fKwsuld0HlkWx0qmsRjLbJMdxaThgQvrpsTrEzKSFBVtne5434Nl0etRxZy8CjeDfkDSnzOq9lsy6Z4TjyB%2FbscB2Ugif6xpzYsluOHEEIjlzfmBLdGp8pH8j8Ohnqr0CYERGYUS2%2Fi%2FGMU%2FIy5B1YTrWCATx3ohNJnmyeGdA4VIi0kkcUalfHM0tz9ozwHZP4oqSAvVlDWbiKl49dudr6Y6Sfj2G0iqUQCB9cJaF1DQ%2BwZkXScbhCa32gFkGirfvfei%2FOohI10TE6J0%2FM6TjhGMHM8J%2BlmxrecWiH8wgAqw%3D%3D&checksum=2835146664914b71786989a94e1692e01cb93a61d408

Grog,
I'm always quick to post up a Chinese bargain but
I don't know that I would use a Chinese master cylinder.
I was guilty of Googling a Brembo Chinese copy a while ago
and the Youtube review was honest but not very flattering.
Cheers,
Rick

This fella did a nice tear down and evaluation of a Chinese knock off Brembo master cylinder... Pretty much what I expected, the product does what it says on the box but the finish isn't ideal, and what you get might be down to the luck of the draw. 

[froudy]

I've got this 16mm Brembo master cylinder from a Yamaha R1 sitting in the shed if anyone wants it..£45 UK posted...I guess it'll work with the 6 pot brakes?
Lever and pot top are a bit manky and would benefit from being replaced or polished, but the cylinder itself is fine.

SOLD...To Seth
