Magura clutch cylinder

Hi guys!

Has anyone here had any experience with Magura cylinders? I am looking into replacing my clutchline and clutch master cylinder.
Have spotted out a Nissin Radial in gold (19mm piston), as awsome as it looks, I am afride it might "brake" the look of the bike, with the brake cylinder beeing black with silver handel..

The Magura is, from what I can see, a bit more expencive then the nissin. The one I have been recommended is at approx. $345. For that amount I might as well invest in a Brembo cylinder instead, but I woulden't think there is a need fopr any high end cylinders. It's not like I'm out on the track everyday, but I do like quality, and prefer quality over price..

So before I make up my mind and choose, I would like to se what information you guys have on the Magura.

Thanks guy.

Cheers
Ken

you can get a black nissin from dime city cycles for 145... tho their user interface is a pita

I bought a brembo / r6 16mm radial brake master under  $100.. so had to find a matching style radial clutch mc, went with a kawasaki nissin one , pretty much all the same if you get the remote resevoir type for about $60 on ebay usa
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

You could always just paint the lever. That's what I did when I put the FJR brake master on my 85. I used Krylon satin black. Looks just like stock!

My clutch master has a 14mm bore, I noticed a distinct improvement in feel over stock (and no leaking hydraulic fluid on myself), but now i can tell that the slave needs replaced, and most likely the lines in between as well. Next project.

You did? Were?
Have looked at the Kawa nissin to and it looks nice. Seen a lot of Kawa 1400 M/C which is 19mm to.
