It seems that piston bore has a significant effect on the feel at the lever, with smaller pistons giving sharper feel and more pressure at the caliper, and larger ones feeling firmer in the hand.

All Nissin masters are Japanese. I highly doubt they make a different one just for GG/Beta. From memory I believe that Honda used to run stronger calipers to Yamaha, but I haven't confirmed that myself. I imagine used Honda parts should be easy to come across though.

A quick google turned this up: https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic...a-front-brake/
