Caliper master cylinder combos

#1 Post by racinjason » Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:52 pm

Hi people.im building 350 hybrid was wondering is it ok to combine different calipers with other master cylinders.ie I have nc30 swinger and rear caliper but zx6 rear sets which the master cylinder off a zx6 would mount onto.obviously this combo would be the easy option but would it work right???

its no problem, I do it all the time... but the best plan is to read what the master says on the side and use the same size if you can. usually something like '1/2'.

You may also find that the rear master size you want is also available in the size and bolt pattern you want on another bike. you will do quite a bit of ebay trawling LOL!
