Default Upgrade my brakes Problems Please help

I have upgrade my single piston rear brake and single piston front brakes on my Roadking Classic year1999.

I have mounted 4 pistons in front and rear,and new brake discs from a electra Classic 2002.

After what my eyes can see it look like that the front master cylinder and rear master cylinder is the same on both motorcycles.
But a mecanic once told me that there are a difference.


Can i still use my old front and rear master cylinders????

I am from Denmark,but hope you can understand what i mean.

Thanks

Lars

You would need to find out what the bore of the master cylinders are and also what difference is the size of the pistons in the new callipers

If you pm me I will help you
