A few years back I purchased the CNW front brake mastercyliner kit. The good part is that the kit provides superb braking for my '73 850 - the equal of modern motorcycle braking, and much superior to a sleeved oem master cylinder ( MC). I have had a standard oem MC, a sleeved oem MC, and the CNW kit. But the CNW kit requires a different set of switch gear to go with the Brembo MC. I really prefer the oem switchgear...but that means I have to use my sleeved OEM MC. I PREFER the oem switchgear as far as appearance and operation is concerned but the sleeved oem MC is much inferior as far as feel and stopping power compared to the CNW kit.
However, once again I find myself preferring the oem switchgear to the point that tomorrow I am going to remove the CNW MC kit/switchgear and go back to the sleeved oem. I'm not sure why I'm doing this since I've done it previously and after a couple of days riding decided that the CNW MC is so superior to a sleeved oem unit that I changed back to the CNW. But, once again, I so much prefer the oem switchgear that I'm going to do it again and see if I can deal with the poorer braking so I can have the oem Norton switch gear.
So...C'mon CNW, figure out how to somehow do the braking capability/feel of your Brembo kit and use the oem Norton switchgear!
