    I have just compled a front end swap on my vtec.I now have cbr 600f4i forks and calipers which work amazingly.Obviously I had to lose the linked brakes,which Iwas quite happy about and the new front cbr calipers work great.However I have ran a single brakeline to the rear vtec caliper working the 2 outer pistons only.I removed the middle piston and blanked the bolt hole
    so I didnt need a second line.I am using the standard master cylinder.The rear works but you get hardly any lever movement and you have to realy stand on it to lock the rear.Do I need to change the master cylinder and if so to what?
    Many thanks,Mark
