yer was hoping it would, Thanks Kev.... sort of makes sense, you think they would use the same cast and just change the bore size to suit..

For anyone that does a lot of track days and do not want the expense of Pazzo levers getting broken. Especially for those who have gone over to using R1 / 6 master cylinder and clucth posts:

A good price and looks to be very good quality too. :wink:

I recently fitted an R1 master cylinder with the original brake lever and it all fitted perfectly.

The two master cylinders appear identical externally.
Black '99: Race Tech fork springs/emulators, R6 Shock, FCR41's, Modified airbox with K&N filter, Omrae carbon mufflers, R1 brakes, Toby steering damper, and;
Black '01: unmodified, 100% original, and;
'95 Import: Track Bike - too much to list

Yes I`ve seen R1 / 6 MC`s go here for 15 quid Cobba, without the levers of course. :wink:
Those levers being folding types are definately worth investing in if you do a lot of track days.

Yep, you can`t go wrong at that price either. :wink:
I`m guessing at least 100 quid if you ordered one from Yamahahahaha direct.

It's interesting the part number begins with 3TJ (FZR400RR), which used a 5/8" master cylinder, and the seller is listing it as suitable for 'FZR1000 YZF R1 R6' - the FZR1000 used a 5/8" m/c too.

The main problem to fitting miss matched levers is to be sure that the lever actuating point on the master cylinder is right in the middle of the master piston spigot[ or rod]..if the push to brake is off to one side, it will cause a notchy creep feel on stopping...you could use anything in the lever itself...as long as it pushes into the middle of the master..
