I changed my master cylinder to one from a 2008 TRX 400EX Honda 4 wheeler, it is 7/8" dia. bars and has a switch for the brake light that works fine with the stock wiring.

You need a master cylinder with a 1/2" or 13mm bore to work about the same ratio as the stock master cylinder. Most dual brake motorcycles with multiple pistons in each caliper use a smaller master cylinder piston diameter.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
