What are you looking to accomplish? Do you have the twin disc and looking for some relief?

I should be receiving an HRB on Wed and will find out if I need to visit a machine shop and if it makes a difference in the feel.

its just that my master cylinder is going bad and was trying to see if a rl would work on the tl, and honestly i dont know if the rl is any difference from the base model tl but they do have bigger brakes, i also have the rl caliper conversion, thats also one of the reason i want the rl master cylinder!
and if you dont mind me asking what is a HRB?

Hydraulic Release Bearing. It takes the existing slave cylinder, fork, bearing and replaces it with a single unit.

I've done a lot of reading and the performance/feel of the clutch is going to depend on the master/slave bore sizes. If you like the feel of the existing setup and go with a larger bore, the "swing" you have will be reduced because for the same piston travel you are moving more fluid.

Matching up brakes to clutch doesn't really do much unless you know the differences.

What clutch are you running?
