Front master cylinder question
Can anyone tell me if the master cylinder/reservoir is different on the '06+ Wide Glides (because of the 1-1/4 bars)? I need to pick up a cheapie spare to keep me on the road while I have mine chromed. Don't want to buy one and have it not fit because of the step in the bars. Thanks.

Clarification with pix
Jmpancoast;
Yes, where it clamps to the bars is on the 1" part of the bar end, but the reservoir parallels the 1-1/4" part, and the back long side of my reservoir has a concave radius to "spoon" the larger diameter of the bars along that part (see pix). The first picture is looking at the banjo end of the reservoir...I think you can see the clearance between the reservoir and the bars. Sorry about the blurry pix; camera phone. Do the non-WideGlides have the same radiused reservoir?
All the 06 and up Dynas with single disc use the same master cyclinder. Except in my previous psot, I gave you the part number for the rear. The front is 45019-06.
