Does anyone know if there is a larger rear brake master cylinder for the Boss Hoss Gangsta? I'd like more brake with less effort.

What you want is a smaller M/C. I know it sounds wrong. Say your current M/C bore equals 2 square inches. 20 pounds of foot pressure is 10 PSI at the piston. Change that to a 1 square inch M/C and 20 pounds at the foot pedal is now 20 PSI at the piston. You will increase the distance the pedal has to move
