1000rr master cylinders

Wondering if anyone has used CBr 1000rr master cylinders? Specifically the clutch, looking to upgrade mostly for aesthetics and wondering if I'm going to find they don't work for some reason.

CBR1K clutches are cable actuated.

Did not know that. I guess I should pay more attention.
What kind of oil do you run?

I thought this smelled like an oil thread.

Rotella. Also, you could get a ZX14 clutch master.

I tried the masters off a 2006 CBR1000RR (radial brake with remote res and linear clutch with res fixed to m/c) and found the clutch res fouled on the fairing when moving bars to the left. The brake res cleared from memory. As Just_Nick said, I have ZX-14 m/cs to fit which have remote reservoirs, so I can just move them inboard further. Just waiting on res's and CRG levers - Partzilla dragging their feet
