My 1999 KX250 Build

Alrighty!
The newest problem...the front master cylinder is definitely not for my 1999 KX250.
All of my front brake parts came in today...not even close to the right fit. I went through a few random year bikes for other models and it appears the cylinder is from an older Honda CR250 (1992-2006). Makes sense since the shock was also put together with random honda parts.
So! instead of getting a new master cylinder that will fit my bike - i'm just going to get another new lever and adjustment screw that matches the Honda master cylinder. Will be much cheaper and it'll still work.
Ugh. this thing is going to be the death of me.

A lot of guys have tried Honda master cylinders and say it is an improvement over the stock Kawasaki one. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Just need to make sure I know which one it's from lol...ive looked at the schematic a million times and there's a small difference between the one I have on the bike and the one in the pic
The one on the bike has a single prong where the brake line connects and the one in the diagram for oem parts has two prongs

I'll take a pic of mine and posted in a lil bit.
I'm runnin a 12 CRF450 master on my '00 250.
The stock Kawie brakes suck, but with the Honda master, they'll practically lock up if you breath on the lever...super touchy and strong.

Greatly appreciated...
trying to view random google images and parts diagrams is giving me a headache. Cant seem to find out which cylinder this is.
might just give up and use the ghetto rigged lever lol
