    Finally I have 1 finger pull on my front brakes. I used a XS1100 master cylinder with steel braided brake lines. Connect the 2 wires together for the fluid level to bypass the sensor. This master cylinder made the difference. You can buy them off of e-bay and rebuild them cheap.

    Is the brake real easy to pull now? I'm guessing that's the intention for this mod?

    The XS1100E has a larger piston which in turn applies more pressure to the calipers thus far far superior braking. Yes it's easy to pull in. Yamaha is notorious for installing to small a master cylinder to their front brakes.
