You have to be very careful going down this route if you extend the adjustement one push rod the other has to be shortened by the same ammount.

You also have to ensure that both pushrods. (in this case particularly the front) are allowing the piston in the master cylinders to return fully if not the brakes will lock solid as the fluid expands when the calipers heat up and the trapped fluid jacks the brakes on.

Personally I would have chosen a 0.7" master cylinder for the front but 5/8" should be ok

If one front consistently locks before the other, and the callipers and pads are all ok, then your corner weights may be a fair bit out (in fact are quite likely to be if never set).
