Question for those using GSXR master cylinder
How did you mount the resevoir? It looks like it mounts to the clip-on on the Suzuki, but I don't see an easy way to mount it on the SH. I also want to double check the size, mine says 5/8 on it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Doug O.

What I don't get is that unlike the SH master cyl. the GSXR m/c has no hole to mount the res. to. From what I can find online it appears that the GSXR clip-on has a threaded hole in it for the res to mount to, instead of it mounting directly to the m/c. I was asking about the 5/8 just because I thought the 1000 m/c was 3/4" (19mm.) bore. I've attached a pic. of a newer gixxer w/ a radial m/c but it appears to mount the same (to the bar).

5/8 master cylinder bore
My 95 GSXR750 6 pot brake system has a 5/8 bore MC. It is PERFECT!. I am setting up a pair of 2001 GSXR1000 6 pot calipers for my Hawk and I will be using the same 5/8 MC on it. I expect it will be good.

Bar risers are from Moose racing, check any bona-fide dirt bike vendor. I'm using TAG's now which are usually cheaper. Do a net search.
Clock in the middle is a clock, sort of. It's a Sigma BC800 bicycle computer; WAY, way, more accurate than the stock speedo plus it gives you an extra tripometer, highest speed, total time, and as you surmised a clock. When set up right, it's as accurate on speed as a GPS since it doesn't rely on the gearing like the stocker but rather front wheel speed.

I have been using the gsxr master all I had to do was bend the oem bracket that it comes with. can get a pic if you want at work right now you will love your new brakes with the 6 piston calipers. But if you dont replace the fork springs and dampining you will not get all that it can give you. I had the springs all ready but when I sent the forks to hawkrider for valving 
she smothed right out and I had to learn how to ride all over again. did not have the bike slowing me down insted I was slowing the bike down.
Later have to go back to work

Stumpy,
I should be all set. I actually don't have the GSXR bracket, but I have another m/c that i bought with a set of 6 pots, it turned out not to be gsxr, possibly not even Suzuki as the lever I had for the gsxr m/c didn't even come close to fitting. Any way it actually looks just like the SH m/c except that it's 19mm, so I may use the res. from that since it looks just like the stock one, or at least the bracket from it. Hopefully it will be done by the weekend.
