    Which new master cylinder?

    The master cylinder for my 85 750 EF was a bit beat up before,after my last spill I'd rather get a replacement

    Looking on eBay I found 2 sets that come with clutch lever assemblies.
    Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Universal 7/8" Motorcycle Handlebar Brake Master Cylinder Clutch Lever Reservoir at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!

    These look a bit more like earlier Suzuki units but should look OK on the EF.

    These look somewhat closer to the EF's square MC but more modern.Like the idea of adjustable levers.The 17mm bore size and mirror mounts say these are better suited to street than the advertised dirt bikes.
    Trying to decide which I like better.
    If I wanted/needed 14 MM MC's there are loads of them

    No feedback at all?I know there's some personal taste involved.Starting to wonder to if even though both say 17mm bore/piston size they might be 14mm or even smaller.Set # 2 is especially worrying me the way fitment's listed

      I'd look for something with a 5/8" bore (or the metric equal).

      To measure is to know.

        The metric equivalent is 16mm or there about.If the 750 had stock calipers I might be a bit more worried about going to a 17 mm MC but there's a set of opposed piston 550 calipers on it.Don't get me started on how Suzuki ads said the 750 was supposed to get them or that the 550 had themI am thinking the 17 MAY be a better match.BTW it's even harder to find a 16mm-5/8th bore MC

                Wouldn't recommend cheaping out on the master cylinder...went through a few eBay specials before I bought this one for my GS1100:
                1982 Suzuki GS450TZ
                1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ
