Radial master cyclinders

I'm thinking of getting a radial master cylinder for the front brake and maybe also the clutch. For those of you in the know, which one's have worked for you? New brake lines and a microswitch no doubt needed.
Before anyone says anything it is not due to the excessive speed of having a black bike, my riding skills keep me below 80mph.

Yes I've got them.
New brake and clutch lines as the banjo fixings are in a different place and at a different angle and the brake needed a pressure switch for the brake light.
I have one of the Brembo racing brake masters and an RSVR clutch master

Outstanding, I had a look at the Brembo ones, is there a specific bar width I am looking at or are they the same as the RSVR? Don't want to get one too small to fit over the bar, but don't mind shimming for over size. Think that makes sense

I believe all the big Aprilias use the same diameter bars

To be honest I think virtually all bike bars are a standard size - 22mm or 7/8". Certainly RSV(R) radial master cylinders fit Falco bars perfectly. And I know from experience that RSVR radial masters also fit Ducatis (although I was initially worried about rejection of the donor part...)

Superb, clears up a few issues straight away. Next step, better buy a winnning lottery ticket!
