Anyone bought one of these MCs on Ebay?

You've got which? The one on ebay or the one on mikes xs?

Sorry, ebay one.

It doesn't have provisions for the mirror

What's that tapped hole on the side of the reservoir?

It's the mirror mount. It DOES have one; I think Lynn's just maybe confusing this with another ebay piece maybe?

And why's that a better choice?

Cause it is a 16mm bore, includes switch and everything else needed?

yeah, mine had the mirror mount. I like it except for being so big. 1 finger stops normally, two fingers will dive the front end down and stop you in a big hurry, and I'm still running the rubber lines that came on the baike (plan to move to SS just haven't done it yet).

I'm no brake expert, just hoping with a phrase like "It's a better alternative" that there would be some additional info.

FWIW, the ebay model DOES come with it's own switch, banjo bolt, and washers.

As for the 14mm vs 16mm, it's a blanket statement youre making. If you read through some of the endless posts on this topic, you'll see quite a number of people are switching to 14mm for better braking control, at the cost of greater lever travel.
