Any of the modern sportbike radial style will work......and..................................... .they usually come with an electric brake switch that is easy to wire to the lamp!! I use one off a zx14 (only because it was the cheapest one on ebay) and the stopping force is crazy! set up is a sportster single front caliper on a XS650.

Nicely done, but I think a harder plastic would look a little better as oppossed to seeing it vibrate in front of you, blasting done the road.Comment

ok so if I wanted to really change out my front brake system then i would need the matching disc brake for the caliper....then the matching master cylinder? because a lot of the sport bikes have dual front brakes i am seeing a lot of "sets" on ebay with those dual brakes.....how are you guys putting together these set ups? i love the idea of having that small master cylinder...Comment

I am a bit lost on finding what Master Cylinder I need to match my KZ Caliper? I assume that any modern sportbike brake lever would have enough to power my old caliper, right? Perhaps my resevoir comes off like that already. I'll have to look.Comment

Its not about matching up a mc to the caliper by brand or what ever. Whats needed is the bore size of the mc. Take Brembo for instance. They have a 19mm(bore) x 20mm(pivot point) brake mc for dual calipers. That means a lot of volume of fluid is being pushed on your old OEM single caliper. Feel will be lost and the brake will essentially work like a switch. Dangerous but maybe you like to have your brakes really touchy, I dunno. If you took a smaller bore size and shorter pivot point then feel would be brought back into play but if the bore is too small then you get spongy brakes.
I have read that 19x18 for most sportbikes with 4 pistons, 19x20 for 6-piston calipers, and 16x18 for single caliper applications.Comment
