As per title,Looking for a 2003 onward :
GSXR 600cc-750cc-1000cc, (Radial MC)
or
R6 2006+ Radial MC
The later model the better :yes:
I know you said "the later the better" but if you get stuck i have a perfectly good one off a TL doing nothing if you get stuck and if it will work.

Ok ,well im open to other models/brands if they are the same as the SV/GSXR
ones ,only looking for those two particular ones as im doing a MC upgrade on the
katana and those two are the only ones i know that will work with relatively little
modification,but if a TL MC is interchangeable with GSXR/SV ill be interested :2thumbsup
Give me a bit of time and i will find out for ya,pretty sure it will although have to ask what your up to,Suzuki bits are pretty interchangeable as i bolted a pair of Busa calipers and 5/8 master straight up to the TL.

Yea just having a prod around on the katana website to ask about tl1000 MC's .
Well im in the process of doing a front end upgrade on the katana -swapping in a 92 gsxr750 usd setup ,but ive been told/showen that i can directly swap in a sv1000s or gsxr MC which will improve the brake feel and power so im up for anything that will give this under braked bike some help .Doing the rear end busa disc swap aswell at some point too.
Nice,man after my own heart,love mucking around with things myself,in hindsight i dont believe i acheived that much with the busa calipers etc,braided lines and decent pads would have done,am going to try a radial master cylinder next.Let me know if it will fit and you can have it,if it will pm me your addy and i will put it in the mail.

All part of the fun tho eh! ,Yea will do ,im really interested in seeing how much of a impact on the brake power/feel the new MC will make :shifty:

Yup looks like the tl Master Cylinder will fit the kat :first:,apparently its done quite often on katanas in U.S.A .

The reason you're getting no response mate, is the bikes you've listed don't run a radial master cylinder. Introduced on the GSXR1000 in 2003, then the 750-600s in 2004.
SVs never got one, and I doubt whether the Bandito did although I haven't looked.
PM Gixser, he has just replaced the Radila Master cylinder on his Superbike and may sell the old one, not sure.

i dont believe i acheived that much with the busa calipers etcCause they're flexi poo!!! I've got a set of GSXR1000K2 6 pots from OAB after he put Brembo 4 pots on. Like the TL/Busa swap, they're worse than the 4 pot calipers factory fitted (sv1k ones are the same as GSXR600/750 calipers), but they're sexier :lol: I could probably live with a little degradation in the brake feel (power isn't a problem) for the bling, but can't bring myself to do it yet.

SVs never got oneYep, he speaks the truth :yes:
You don't need a radial mount one, won't make enough difference to get excited about. Also consider the radial R6 ones (can't remember, maybe 06+?), they'll do what you want too (if you're stuck on getting a radial one :))
