Fred, I have been running the 5/8" bore master cylinder on both of my
Tigers for at least the last five years. The braking effort is a little
higher than with the stock booster, but the feel is much more tactile,
and modulating lock-up is much easier when approaching the limit.
If you are going to use the 5/8" MC, make sure that your rear brakes are
in tip-top condition, your adjusters lubed and free, and your drums are
true.
You will need to adjust your rear brakes a lot more, since you are
displacing less fluid with the smaller bore. I consider it a fair
trade-off.

I have an Alpine S-II master cylinder which I plan on installing soon.
My understanding is that this M/C will give really nice pedal feel while
generating the necessary pressure. I think the bore is 5/8", so what
Stu is saying should be accurate.
