Will I flip over and die if.......?
« on: April 04, 2008, 03:42:37 PM »
If I installed a new front master cylinder on my cb400f with a piston bore size of 12.7mm. The stock bore is 10mm, and I can't find any newer style front MC'c that size. Will this make my brakes too stiff by moving too much fluid?
Any thoughts?

thanks

Fit a GSXR1000 M/C mate, and your caliper piston will punch a hole thru your disc! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

The only real danger is if it's a Yamaha.  Those puppies flip over all the time.
