'03 GSXR1000 Front Brake Master Cylinder

I've read that an 01-02 is a direct swap, any idea whether an '03 would work. I've checked part numbers on bike bandit, but I'm not sure if those are right.

Re: '03 GSXR1000 Front Brake Master Cylinder

ideally.... you can put any master cylinder on any set of brakes.... you can change around the m/c piston size for a different feel and different force. i'm not exactly sure about those exact two being compatible, but id say go for it.

smaller m/c piston = more lever travel, more feel
bigger m/c piston = less lever travel, less feel

I've heard those things are great, make that process easy as pie!

I didn't win the auction, but would a stock sv650 master work?
