Radial brake Master Cylinder YAMAHA FZ6R FZ1
I'm not one to shy away from a "good" deal.
What is everyone's thoughts? :rofl2:
Good deal or junk? :wacko3:

If it's not broken, fix it anyways

I don't know about the aftermarket masters like the one shown, but I run an 09 R6 raidial master on my YZF600 along with 01 R1 blue dots. The feel is improved over the 14mm master I ran previously and power is at least as good, possibly better as well. I never had issues with the 14mm.

You may want to look at the line mounting. On my brembo the banjo fitting exits straight down as opposed to the normal fitting which is more or less parallel to the ground. I make my own lines so it was not a big deal, but your lines may not be long enough. As far as I know, no one makes 90 degree adapter to make it work without diferent line ends. You may also have issue with the throttle cables on some models. The 93 in y garage probably would.

All in all I think it was worth the effort to install the R6 master on my bike.

this is similar to the one I am running:

 I'm using a Nissin radial master from a GSXR600, with the 19mm bore, on my YZF600 fighter with good results. It gives better feel then the 14mm R1 master I was using. The GSXR stuff is very cheep on ebay, I got this master for about $40 with a good lever and res.
I have a ZX14 radial clutch master I'm going to try too, nice stuff. One nice feature of these radial Nissin masters is they  have a bleeder at the master "high point" that makes them easy to prime and bled.

Bill, I bought my FZ1 fender from that mob last month.........absolutely accurate with their description and price was fair.
Not a bad eBay mob.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
