Default Need Master Cylinder info

07 softail with the chrome controls but from 06. Would the rebuild kits for the front master cylinder be the same and what size bore would it be?

I would think they would be the same. the size don't change unless there is a dual caliper set up.

No, the size of the bore of the plunger in the master cylinder is different if there is a single or dual calliper set up. So a single caliper master cylinder is different than a double calliper bike. I believe the plunger in a single caliper bike is larger. I just did my apes and learned a lot about brake lines.
