Blue dot calipers

I'm not going to keep talking with you because

A) you don't realize that if a 16mm radial works, a 17.5 radial will work

B) you're kind of being an asshole. I don't need the advice of someone who talks like that to me. Chill. And I'm not asking you, so don't feel the need to respond.

Weak rubber won't build *full* pressure, but will expand and develop partial pressure. But the pressure will slowly fade, because it isn't a perfect seal. But it is partial seal. It isn't leaking, it's internal.

Kyle, chill dude, its all good..... The web really screws with the human touch of communication. This is a digital campfire and most of us are good people with good intentions.  Keep that in mind please...

  FJ_Hooligans answer explains it perfectly.

Sorry Kyle, I get a little over-amped occasionally.

I don't recall you upgrading the front end of your '86.  Is it possible you're using this master cylinder with the stock 2-piston calipers?

It's all good, I'm sure I've done it before too. I'm about to purchase a '90, which I found while looking for late model forks so I could fit the blue spots I have.

Mark, I gave a calm response to the first rude statement, said no more to the second. I don't feel like I was too over the top, and we've resolved it.

And yes, was using it with stock 2pots.

Okay, this all makes sense now.  This was apples and oranges.

That master will not work with the 2-piston calipers, but hang onto it as it WILL work with the blue dots.

By using this 17.5mm master cylinder the R6 owners might actually be degrading their brake performance.  However, a little research shows additional missing information.  A radial master has 2 numbers; the piston diameter and the pivot distance.  Lacking the pivot distances it's impossible to determine the overall master cylinder efficiency.

So finally ABS taken out and the blue dots on with the new SS brake lines. Thanks everyone for all the help and advise. 3 hour project well worth it. The stopping power and distance is a huge improvement. No need  to change the MC. Anything better might throw me over the bars.
