Well, that's good news. I assume your original master cyclinder had the 5/8" bore with 12mm banjo? Did you replace the brake line/banjo fitting, or use an adaptor bolt? There is this piece available

-------
Banjo adapter bolt, 10mm threads using 12mm line. Use on our part No. 90-344 handlebar master cylinder. Comes with two aluminum gaskets. Chrome plated. U.SA MADE.
-------
This old master cylinder doesn't use banjo bolts. But I replaced the entire brake line as I was installing a hydraulic brake switch. I have an internal throttle, and no wiring/switches on the bars.
