Ricky,

Pretty much any 5/8th master cylinder will work.

If you want a remote reservoir then look for something like ZX7R, If you want an 'integral' reservoir then ZZR or ZRX will work well, but be cautious of the angle of the reservoir on some of the 'integral' stuff.
An integral resevoir designed for a sports bike, may not work well with high, 'sit up & beg' bars, just because it will hard to keep the fluid 'level'.
I hope this make's some sort of sense. :roll:

I used a Zx9r master cylinder on my kh400.The reservoir that came with it was a little bit bigger than would of liked so i got a rear reservoir from a 50cc chinese trailie.

I fitted a ZRX Brake Master Cylinder as these also have the fitting for the mirror. Also as I converted my clutch to hydraulic I used the ZRX Clutch Master Cylinder.
