Yes...it is very important that one matches the caliper piston area to the master cylinder piston area in the correct ratio. I worked from the stock HD master cylinder backwards and determined how much caliper piston area I could have and still have a comfortable feel in the brake pedal. You cannot find an oversize HD rear brake master cylinder that will just bolt on in the place of the stock unit.....so you have to work backwards from that. You have to know the piston area of the MC and the total piston area of all the caliper pistons you plan to push.
