    Larger Rear Brake Mastercylinder for GS1100E?

    Quick question, are there any rear master cylinders that have a slightly larger bore than my GS1100E that will bolt right in? I added a rearset and now its uncomfortable to push the brake down that far (different leverage). Thanks!

      That's not the problem. The leverage is different and requires the pedal to be pushed farther to engage the brake. When the pedal is adjusted to the right height at rest, it goes down too far before the brake engages and I was thinking a little bigger master cylinder would be an easy thing to swap.

        Think they're all about the same diameter piston for about the last 40 years ...........
