I've had a clutch m/c off a Honda Firestorm on my RGS for some time, but have never been too happy with the action- it engages too late- a bit like the dry clutch on my Guzzi Sport 1100.  It may have too small a bore to shift the required fluid.

I originally fitted it to match the brake m/c (the o/e one is buggered)

Today I refitted the original, but because I now have Suzuki switchgear the lever can't be pulled right back to the bar, so this set up isn't ideal.

Question is, anyone found an alternative master cylinder that gives a similar action to the original, preferably with an adjustable lever?  And is cheap.
 
I'm very happy with clutch action with this new one.
I got it from Moto Mecca. Not cheap but not expensive. They are easy to deal with and were happy to send me pics of various styles until i saw the one I wanted.
It's light, can pull it in with one finger.



Matches the new brake m/c I fitted at the same time.

 
Those are Brembos, yeah?  What size bore?  Not entirely sure if the lever would clear the switches- might have to look at the original bike (GSXR600?) if it has a hydraulic clutch and look at the bore of that.
 
yep, same size as standard, but better pivot point plus dog leg lever.
Are you using modern Suzuki switchgear?

I have a similar type pivot/dog leg on my cable clutch on POP and it clears the modern Suzuki switchgear easily.



 
I am using modern switchgear, and it's even chunkier than the GSXR stuff you have because the choke lever is part of the switch- if you seer what I mean.  If it wasn't the o/e lever might work.
 
Quality time with ebay needed eh?

Perfect day today so I'll be out on the RGS, wonky clutch or no.
 
I have the one Keith fitted when doing the conversion..looks like grants ...think from a Ducati monster, works fine.
 
The cable one was from a Guzzi Griso I was told, but likely generic amongst Italian brands of the same era.
