I developed a 1/2" mastercyl resleeve kit which some are using and seems to be successful BUT I'm worried
about buyers of the kit messing up the fitting of it, so I came up with this adaptor plate for use with the 1/2"
mastercylinder that I sell, of course the best part is you still use the Lucas switch block.
I'll probably add this mastercyl kit to my upcoming 320mm brake upgrade,

Interesting approach. It does look a bit ungainly.

Andover already do one which comes with their M/C upgrade...books a lot nicer and will accept stock mirrors.

I haven't seen the Andover one in any "good" pictures but the picture I did see didn't make it look to good. Does anyone have good pictures of one? I kind of like this Maddass.

this only proto type, I have some small changes to make and repost another pic.
its only an alternative to
(1) resleeving the stock M/cyl to 1/2" which can be messy or expensive
(2) fitting other types of 1/2" M/cyl where you have to do away with the switch block
I would probably powdercoat the adaptor plate and polish the lever,
it has a brake light switch. mirror thread is 10mm, I guess this could be helicoiled for stock mirror
for an expected selling price of $100-$120 its just an other option

well not really, once I get a batch of the adaptors made then there will be enough to go around
I'll no more tomorrow about production time, but I reckon it will be a few weeks, there is a mountain of
my other parts to be machined in front of this project,
