Looks like a cbr600 mc, same as used on my cb1300, I’m also fitting the same except I’ll be trying to fit a matching clutch mc as well if I can figure out the way to convert the 500 to an hydraulic clutch. You may find that any brake fluid leakage will peel that paint off which is why I’m having mine ceramic coated in satin black. I’ve got some spare sight glass windows if you need one Roo. Just use a small screwdriver and drill it through the glass and lever it out. You can also buy the lever pivot pin in stainless if you look around. I even got custom made covers for the top with 500 four engraved on them.

That would be cool Ken, cheers. Yeah they’re offa 93-97 cbr6
I’ve not had any issue with brake fluid stripping paint in about 20 years of painting these on and off for various repairs, tart ups and crash damage. It’s calliper paint and I’ll hit it with 2 pack gloss lacquer when they’ve dried for a bit. They usually come out looking good and with fair durability too.
The coffee jar with the budget in has had a hit because of the rims so reigning in a bit and making do. Just means a bit more nannying.
SLR front cal for a pall a few years ago now like but looked fair to say it was slid down the road at 45mph

If you'd like any suggestions to go with this I've a few ideas Ken.
Something like this uses piston and seal that could be used as slave for clutch system

They are mtb caliper but easily available seals usually and using conventional brake fluid. Possible to get a cylinder designed and machined from alloy bar that would just sit in place of 500 mechanism to push clutch rod. Obviously hydraulic feed through cable hole in casing, could either bleed with cover off or put a "chimney" bleed back up out of case to facilitate.
