    9R front MC upgrade options?

    Researching seeing what is used as an upgrade for the Firebolt. I upgraded to the 8pot front caliper. What options are available for the R's in terms of MC? I have an EBR master cylinder and the lever hits the 'Bolt dash at left lock. The only position the lever does not hit the dash, puts the lever in a position not comfortable for riding. Seems I will have to use the 1125R or any 08+ ZTL2 model MC. Is there a radial MC that fits within the cutout of the front fairing? I really like the feel of the EBR vs the 'Bolts front brake.

    Any 3/4" M/C will work and feel exactly the same at street pace. The '08-up XB or 1125 will clear the fairing, as will most eBay non-linear units for a 7/8" bar. IIRC, the City-X and Scg were slow to change over so be sure to check the M/C bore size that is cast into the bottom.
