Master cylinder sizes

Hi Peter,
I can't say for the Mille, but on my SSD I use a 12mm unit from a Pantah. I changed it because I didn't like the original 15mm at all - very wooden, and I like to be able to feel the brakes coming on.
So Steve's 13mm unit may suit you.
Curiously, my Laverda Corsa has a 15mm master and is fine. Yet the only difference between the bikes is the floating discs on the Corsa; but I don't think that's the reason. I think it has more to do with the way the weight is distributed, and rider position. For example, I'm aware that I use mainly front brakes on the SSD, but the Corsa definiltey needs a little back brake as well - just to settle it.
