Looking for a 12mm or possibly 11mm front brake master cylinder for 7/8 inch bars.

Ideally; similar to the one pictured, prefer maybe silver /un-painted, with reservoir attached not remote, in excellent condition and prefer from a known model so i can get a rebuild kit when it needs it.

I thought mine was 14mm but the brake has two positions off and locked :D Turns out it's 5/8 which is 15mm plus!!!!! Think its off an XJR.

Anyone got something suitable?
All the normal forms of payment available.

I've got an 11mm brembo off a Husqvarna I can sell you, but 11mm seems very small for a Z, standard Z1000J is 5/8.
If you do want a 12mm, Husqvarna SM610S has a 12mm Brembo, DRZ400 is 12.5mm

Thanks Julian, i need a 12mm one as i have different front calipers with 4# 28mm pistons (yes tiny)
The XJR one was sourced to be similar in appearance to the std cylinder/reservoir and the PO even went to the extent of milling off the YAMAHA from the top cover.
I want to replace it with something that looks the same but with the small bore as the one i have is capable of imprinting the back of the pads not to mention a bit hairy scary when you brake in a hurry!

Brembo and Grimeca make 12mm master cylinders with built in resovoirs, neither are particularly expensive, other than those you'll be looking for a second hand one off an MX bike
