is there a direct replacement for the front master cylinder?

i'm looking for a better one than the stock one.

What's wrong with the stock one? The lil ninjette has more braking capability than it needs already.

While the Ninjette has brakes that are quite capable, I wouldn't go so far as to say it has more than it needs. Will it lock up the front tire? Yes. Is the feel and modulation capability of the stock MC somewhat 'meh'? Also a yes. Of course if you're still learning to ride, I'd stick with the stocker... you have to be really ham-fisted to over-squeeze it, which generally helps a newb rider not bin it during a panic stop. However, for someone who's used to significantly better brakes, the stock brakes do leave something to be desired.

I've seen a couple of threads around about upgrades, I was able to get a 2002 Honda Superhawk MC to fit without significant heartburn. Pretty much any MC from a bike with dual-disc front brakes will be a huge upgrade in stopping power since it will have been designed to push enough fluid to activate 2 calipers, usually larger than the one on the Ninjette. Since brake fluid is incompressible, this equates to much higher pressure in the system with much less lever pull. You just need one that will clear the right-hand grip group (throttle housing, killswitch, etc) and has the same banjo bolt thread size / location as the stocker and you're in business.

try putting on Stainless Braided lines and some Vesrah pads. That set up will not disappoint you.

My buddies has an r6 master made by brembo 16x18 works pretty well. The stocker on my Husqvarna 510 sm is wicked for a single disk but also very expensive oem replacement.
