Default Re: Braking question

Hi

Quick brake question... When it comes to master cylinders do you have to match the cylinder up with the calipers? I`ve seen some nice billet levers that come with the master cylinder, but am wondering if i`ll need to replace the master cylinder that comes with them to get decent braking? (these are not for an SV but for a project i`m embarking on)

Thanks all.

You need a master cylinder that moves enough fluid so you don't pull the lever back to the bars without applying the brake pads.
