What a difference an eighth makes

I used a Willwood Master cylinder on my clutch for my Kawasaki 1000 engine it was heavey and a bit like a switch.Bought another one with change in bore size of just 1/8 inch and now it has a light feel and a sensible stroke.
Size does matter

I would always recommend using the bike clutch master rather than a car one.





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

5/8ths works a treat.

Or 0.625"

Did you go up 1/8" in size or down I think would be relevant information We used a Girling clutch master from a Triumph Toledo, new old stock dirt cheap, on a GSXR1100 and it worked perfectly.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I went down from .75 inch. Really makes a big difference.
Anyone want a cheap .75 Mcyl.?
