You could go for a master cylinder with a smaller bore, this has the effect of increasing the laver to pad movement ratio, so for the same pressure on the lever, you get more pressure at the pad.

Agree Bitsa, but back then the CB could out brake the Alegros Cortinas and the likes in traffic, now my L200 truck will out brake the CB easily.

So a bit of extra stopping power is welcome in my book, providing the tyre can handle it.....

Same with my E Type Jag, I've spent more on brake mods than the whole F2 has cost me.

If you want to go the whole hog, have a look at this

give Terry a call to discuss

Looks neat, I'm using 82 CB900 twin piston calipers on my 750F2, with a CBR600 1/2 bore master cylinder, and braided hoses caliper to caliper to cut down on joints, should give a nice progressive feel.
