I have said this before, in response to similar questions... The RC51 and the VTR have less than 10 parts in common, unless you count a few M8 & M6 bolts...
Get a RC clutch master if you want matching levers...

i am upgrading my break lever to an RC51 19 mm master cylinder.
i want to have the same style levers on clutch levers.
the RC51 clutch seems very close "not the same" but close.
14 mm master cylinder and accepts RC51 style levers.
of course rc 51 clutch master cylinder is the easy and simple fix.
i am just trying to filter through the pros and cons of all the options.
i do not like the plastic fluid reservoir. to fragile.
the thinking is what is the best clutch for my requirements.

The thing is... I have kind of tested the first half of the gasilion combinations myself (you should see my pile of stuff that didn't quite fit...), and most of the others have been tested by others... I just have a good memory so I can answer pretty easily...

Which will be identical or near too it at least on all hydraulic clutches... As long as it's properly blead and working normally, all hydraulic clutches engages at the outer point of the movement...
