I was between buying it or not because after 2 days with only me bidding suddenly the price doubled by a private bidderNice work getting a new/used one
that did not compete, he just raised the price once hours before the end time

Clutch master cylinder for softer pull?

Hardly sounds dodgy at all
As i promised here are the results and my comments about replacing my clutch master cylinder with a Brembo one from a Ducati Paningale 1198 (i think it is 16mm piston x18mm travel).
Remember that my bike is a gen1 (2007) Hayabusa turbo and all (6 i think) clutch springs have been replaced with the stiffer ones.
After the initial installation the clutch would not fully disengage but after adjusting it by cutting down (shorten) the plastic lever adjusting cap thus allowing the lever adjusting screw to be screwed in a bit further, i gained about 3/4 of an inch more travel and now the clutch is silky smooth.
Pros:
My clutch is now much softer and riding in the town is fun again.
I can now modulate the clutch perfectly unlike the "digital switch" behavior it had before with the stock MC
Cons
The clutch lever is now very far away from the handle bar so if you are not tall with long fingers this mod will not work.
The lever travel has increased considerably which is perfect for launching the bike with the use of the clutch but not good for changing gears fast as you will have to pull the lever fully back which requires a considerable amount of time.
Maybe the best MC would be a 17x18.

Good thread thanks.
I have the Brembo 19 RSC on the brake side and the 16 is on my bench waiting for me to get time to install it. Think I'm going with the Rizoma setup like GixxerHP's.
I will take a photo today.
The best setup money can buy!
I also have my eye on a 19 RCS but it is very expensive so i need to save some money...

Here are the requested photos.
I believe the clearance is what you want to check that's why i took the photos this way.
Also to anyone that might be reading this, my bike is a gen1 Hayabusa not a gen2 which i believe has clearance problems
between the Master Cylinder and the fairing.
The closest point to the dashboard is the plastic lever adjuster which has about a quarter of an inch
clearance from the RPM gauge's dash trim.
The lever's body and the master cylinder do not even come close to touching the fairing while rotating the handle bar.
Let me know if you want a photo from another angle.

I know this is an old thread but maybe some one can shed some light. I have a bog standard Gen 2 and looking to fit a Brembo clutch master cylinder Which on to go for RCS16 0r RCS 19? getting conflicting views even from Brembo! anyone fit to a standard bike? I am looking for a soft pull (spend a lot of time in traffic) I ride purely on the the road not tack or drag use. Any info much appreciated.

I think you probably have I've asked the question a couple of times an just started a new thread as these are quite old.
I just saw you started a new thread...talk about super-saturating the masses with the same question...I think you probably have I've asked the question a couple of times an just started a new thread as these are quite old.
Like I mentioned I have a Brembo MC off an R1 (RCS16 I believe) and it is great, I also have Gaffer lines and upgraded pads and rotors...my bike did not come with Brembo calipers as it is an '09 so those have been fitted as well...in the end, I have zero brake fade and the bike stops like nobody's business...

I know I know.... but its there clutch side I'm asking about I fitted Brembo RCS brake lever sometime ago and its excellent, transformed braking. Brembo clutch master cylinder improving more complicated.
