From what you said in your pm these should be std for the forks you have bought. No ideas on other models ..... although I'm certain I do have a worn pair in my garage!
Just touching on master cylinders (save on another pm!) you need to sort out what calipers you will be using (ensure they are up to the job!) and then look at what the std fitment m/c is for the callipers, see what the diameter is and if it uses single or dual lines. That then is a good starting point to finding a suitable m/c for your requirements.

You really need to get this right

FYI I used a 19mm dia cylinder m/c to match to the 4 pot Brembo calipers.

On the master cylinder, I think I covered that in my previous post. There is no list of bits to use and each conversion will be different. That is part of the fun of a conversion, but does require research to be carried out!
I'm unable to comment on the 'pig ugly' Kwak item since I don't know what you would find more pleasing to the eye, suffice to say that whilst there appears to be sheep fanciers on this site, I don't want to offend any pig fanciers!

As I said previously, you need to look at the brake system as a whole.
Calipers condition is unknown - would need a full strip down and good clean, but I feel you would need to do that with any second hand brake parts. There are probably better out there, but you really need to sort out exactly what you are going to do for front brakes before you jump in, it only ends up costing much more than you anticipated if you don't plan.

:yo:Going down the tokico 6 pot route, will be looking for the brakes in gold think they come off quite a few bikes. Suzuki TLR1000R, GSXR1000 K5/K6, Hayabusa are just a few.Not too sure on how to work the mastercylinder out, but think i might use one off GSXR1000 K5/K6.
Also not too sure on delinking the brakes and what i need for that,so i hope someone can help us on that.If you have a set of brakes let us no a price and i will let you no if interested.:-0)
