11/16 master cylinder on Fatboy ?
Hi guys,
I need advice whether it is OK to put 11/16 master cylinder on my fatboy. Simple reason - got a nice brand new crome piece
Most of my mates say it should only improve braking. Any reason why I should not do it ?

I'm not sure the brake linesfor the 11/16 masterare the same as your stock ones. Or the calipers for that matter.

If you have duel calipers, you can. If you have a single caliper, there would be too much fluid moved per movement of lever. Short answer is no. Will it stop, yes, WIll you be happy, no.

Don't do it. I did and had to change back. Had absonlutly no play in brake lever. It stopped, but didn't feel right.
