For Sale - BMW master cylinders, available in 3 sizes, contact Grant.

My point was to leave it until you've tried it. I made the mistake of thinking big is best & rushing to buy the FZR1000 part off a friend, when in fact I'd of been better off sticking with the original DR600 item, which turned out to be impossible as I'd already sold it as a job lot with the complete front end......

Steve, I agree completely - depending on what caliper you're going to. With a 6 piston, you're almost certainly going to have to change masters. And as I have found, it is a subtle thing - any of 3 sizes may work, but only one is perfect. BMW's range of masters in one mm increments is proof that it is subtle.

Since this thread is now off-topic - forks - I've created a new thread on brakes - with the full story of my brake upgrade and installation, including mount plate pics.

Back to forks...

Hello.
Since the last post on this thread, i've put about 15k miles on my bike. It's now time to go back to work, and procede with my up-grades. A recent trip through Death Valley truely put my front-end to the test. Heavier oil, with an extra 10ml on the compression side helped a lot with the handling, but even with the heavy cast alum. fork brace my biggest problem is flexing. I've been searching E-bay for the last few weeks for some suitable 48mm-50mm USD forks, but they are all too long. Even though i re-enforced my frame, i prefer to maintain the same ride height. Motocross forks are on average about 92cm. long. The stock Marazoccii forks are only about 82.5cm long. Could someone tell me if anyone sells larger diameter USD (up-side down) forks in this desired length.I've tried e-mailing HPN, no reply. Also, in an earlier post, AliBaba mentioned he tried the fork inlets for the stock forks. If you read this postm Ali, could you please give us an up-date. I'm sure the dampening characteristics are improved, but flexing is probably still an issue.
...as for the front brakes, i'm still carrying my ankor with 20m of rope for those emergency stops...NOT!!
