R6 Brake Master

Hello,

I noticed that a local chop shop has a 2001 R6 and I'm considering trying to buy the front calipers for my 1989 FJ.
I assume they are bolt on...
Does anyone know if I should also try to purchase that master as well, look for something else or use my original one.
Does a 2001 R6 master have a larger bore than a stock brake master.

Thanks for any info.

I think its a 2002 front R6 master reservoir I have on my '93 FJ with blue spot calipers, I'm not sure of the bore differences. The braking is ok, but I think I'm due for new discs. My '94 FJ with the standard master and blue spots with new front discs has savage front braking, much better than the '93.  :unknown:
'94 FJ1200 Wet Pale Brown
'93 FJ1200 Dark Violet/Silver
'84 FJ1100 Red/White

'91 FJ1200 Dark Violet/Silver ( Now Sold)
'92 FJ1200 Project/Resto Dark Violet/Silver (Now Sold)

I am not sure of the year anymore but I bought a complete setup R6 for my FJ, calipers,lines and master cylinder. It works great. The diameter is 14mm on the R6 master. I had no problem connecting the brake switch wires. I sourced different SS brake lines to fit the setup onto the FJ. The diameter on the FJ master is 5/8". I never tried the blue dots with the FJ master after finding the matched setup. The complete R6 setup gives progressive and powerful 2 finger braking. I recommend SS brake lines while making the swap.
Hope it helps.
