OK, this is a topic that has been discussed almost as much as the pipes ot tires.

I am going to do the hidden rear caliper and want to upgrade the rear MC at the same time. I have read a lot of the threads and seen recommendations for Aprillia MC, Ducati MC & even a Yamaha XT125R rear master, which supposedly bolts up perfect and doesn't need the washers and new pushrod for correct alignment. Don't know about that, a MC of a 125? Seems kind of small to put on an XB…

My questions:

1) what is the best MC for this upgrade? and what it the part No. or model & year of bike it is from?
2) is the stack of washers still the best option for correct alignment?
3) is it best to just buy the new brembo pushrod & banjo switch at the same time as the MC?

Thanks for the help guys.
Thanks
