Newer master cyl and controls on older bike
Hi,
ok so I bought an 88 883 to have a play with, just wondering if I can fit later model front master cylinder to it along with the later model switch blocks. Not concerned about the wiring of switches just the compatibility of the master cylinder ie bore size ..
any help appreciated
cheers

that is a good point to consider but as my current set up is designed for a single throttle cable, the return spring on the carby is (should be) strong enough to return the throttle to idle so changing to later controls shouldn't really mean I need to add an idle cable ? Away from my bike now, away for work so I can't go have a closer look. Not familiar with this sporty yet, still very green on them
