Dug a bit further and I think that the 2-piece design is from the late 550ies (K3 on), can anyone please confirm or correct this?

On VERY early 750 supersport as the yanks got, later referred to as the F0 model, the rear master cylinder has a detachable fluid reservoir that is milky white, it seems they changed to a one piece casting by the time it was released in Europe as the F1. Even the Haynes manual mentions it. But, that was only for very early ones, and obviously changed very early in production run.

My CB750 has the DSS pattern master cylinder fitted and my CB500 the original part. Both work well enough, although the brake on the 750 (with the pattern part) has always been firmer at the lever, in comparison the 500 brake feels a little spongy.
As fluid changes, bleeding etc. have made no difference to the feel of either brake, I have put it down to either differences in the two systems, or master cylinder piston size on the aftermarket part. Neither bike has ever had an issue with brake performance at MOT test.
I personally prefer the feel of the CB750 brake with the pattern master cylinder!
ST1100:
Possible that the pattern part from DS is indeed also compatible with a twin disk setup?
Some sellers out there claim that from their replica set...
Always wondered as I figured I'd need a GL1000 master for twin disk, or one from a "modern" bike...

when I fitted a twin disc,I used a goldwing GL1000/1100 master cylinder.
looks identical to the single disc unit
