found this:


if you are going to change the master cylinder, you will also have to change the front brake lines as this master cylinder uses a straight banjo connection rather than the 90 degree one on OEM unit. You can get a Streamline kit with this configuration.

I am running this, It is the Honda master cylinder and Streamline Z400 +2" brake lines on the stock can am front end. The braking is amazing with this setup and the stock Wilwood calipers.

Everything else is stock so it is an easy swap.

i like the brakes, but i dont like the set-up...like how the electrical connection for the rear brake light is inside it instead of external. i dont know if others are set-up like this as well but i had my connection torn out of the reservoir.

The stock master cylinder looses pressure under hard breaking. The Honda doesn't

If there was one thing I found cheap on our quad's it's the front master cylinder... I noticed that right away.
