Replacement master cylinder??

Anyone know a good aftermarket sleeker replacement for the bulky stock master cylinder on the handlebars? I want to try to find something that looks a little cleaner and didnt know if anybody had dealt with this?

That's the one I was looking at! They say in the description it's angled perfectly for clubmans or clip ons. They have a killer price on brake line kits too.

Just my paranoid of breaking down without tools opinion,but i like the idea that the stock master cylinder doesn't require tools to get the cap off.Just a thought.Of course that makes them easy to steal as well.

i really like that one from sling shot, but it says it works for single disc, will it work for dual discs too? that price isnt bad either. when i tried to slide my forks up to lower the bike the fork hit my stock reservoir on my master cylinder, so im trying to find one a little smaller and cleaner

I am using an old style master cylinder with my duel disc setup, and it works fine. However I do have braided stainless steel break lines. Those make a big difference in how the system works. They do not expand like the rubber lines.

The difference between a single disc or a dual disc master cylinder is if it moves enough fluid to support two calipers or not. The factory m.c.'s definitely do that.
