One Forza 750. not a million miles away from the X-ADV or the Integra.



Yes, I'm about 220 miles from you, but I used to really live at the opposite end of the island, in Thurso!

Yes, I do recall now. A road only version of the X-ADV.

Scooters are just not on my radar generally, hence my thinking Silver Wing referred to the GL650 of yesteryear, rather than the later big scooter.

So, including scooters there are several Hondas with LH h/bar rear brake Master Cylinders. What I think I will do to avoid hijacking this thread any further is to start a new thread just about this conversion and suitable M/Cs that can be used.

The CrossTourer's clutch Master Cylinder is 1/2". I think that would work if brakes are de-linked, otherwise I think a 14mm one (like from SilverWing) would be better.

What dimension is 30mm smaller on the Forza Master Cylinder?

Ignore that. I can see the different shape (smaller) of the reservoir.

I've been checking this and as far as I can see, the SilverWing Rr. M/C is the same 1/2" bore as almost all the other Hondas that have a Rr. brake on the LH h/bar. It is a different part number for the assembly, but they all have the same part number for the piston, so must be the same bore. Even the ones with a smaller reservoir seem to have the same 1/2" bore, even though the piston is a different part number which is hardly surprising as it is a significantly different actual M/C.
