Hi guys, my master cylinder doesn't fit on my clip on bars. I've been looking around and this poster pretty much had my problem back in '09. The stock MS is too long and hits the clip on clamp.

I'm curious if anyone has upgraded a CB550 to a radial master cylinder. I can't seem to find anything in radial that is a 14mm bore. Also, I don't want to break the bank. I'd love to spend under $150. Any idea of existing bikes that I can take one off of? I hear people using a GSXR radial a lot but I think that's a larger bore.
OR, I was wondering if a conventional axial Nissin MS will give me the clearance I need. These I can find no problem and aren't too expensive.
Oh, and just some info: SS lines, single disc, stock caliper. The clip on clamp seems to stick out about 3/8" off the handlebar so I'd need at least that amount of clearance from an axial MS.
Thanks
