Good Dual Caliper Master Cylinder?

[SClow303]

I have upgraded to a dual disk set up on my SR500 Cafe Build. I am looking for any half way vintage looking master cylinders that may be out there. I have even thought about going with a new sport bike style set up. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

An xs800 would be right for a period correct application. I think.

With clubman bars the mastercylinders from the 700-750 Magnas and Shadows from 1982 through 1985 would actually have a bit of an angle to the casting that might suit the bar angle since the hight bars had a sort of upward angle on them. Honda 650-700 Nighthawk master cylinder from 83-86 would work too on drag, flat track, and superbike bars. After 86 I think most of the customs had single calipers, only sportbikes had dual calipers (not counting Wings, they had linked brakes so the front master cylinder is single caliper). The ones I mentioned are the later black solid metal reservoirs with a sight window. I am fairly certain Lehman's Big Open Road in Dover Ohio would have one of the ones I mentioned. They've broken down probably a few dozen 80s Hondas, including Shadows and Nighthawks. They aren't on line, but you can call them at 330-602-6736. Tell them Mark sent you. They will be reasonably priced.

I have a 1983 Gold Wing master cylinder with a right hand caliper from an Interceptor 500 on my SR500. Works far better than stock. You can see it on my Bike Pics site listed in my signatiure.
