    Can anyone tell me what size the rear master cylinder is on the 8th gen? Doing some research, own a delinked 5th gen trying to see if the 8th gen rear caliper can be adapted to fit with a custom hanger. Currently using f4i rear master cylinder which is 14mm. Thank you all.

    I may be wrong but I believe the 8th gen has the same Nissin rear brake as the 6th gen, it's the front Tokico calipers which are different.

    I just need to know the size of the 8th gen rear master cylinder size at this point could one of you owners look at the casting and let me know?

    As posted on other forum. It has the same piston diameter as a 600rr. I would also say a cbf 600 but you don't have them there.

    I've located on eBay a picture of the 8th gen master cylinder and it is 14mm, which matches the F4i master cylinder I currently have installed on my 5th gen with delinked brakes with stock modified rear caliper. So in theory, the 8th gen rear caliper that is smaller, and lighter which uses 2 pistons can be adapted to fit the 5th gen as long as a custom brake carrier can be fabricated.
