I am with skids on this
I don't think it is worth changing you fork bottoms to 65mm
there are not enough good caliper options IMO
There are lots of different options for the 40mm as mentioned Billet items and so on.

The Brembo radial master cylinder is excellent,but there are alternatives.I have a Nissin radial from a ZX6RR.Found it to be equal to the Brembo,comes with a brake light switch and fits nicely,plus cost alot less.

Is this similar to the one you used? Nissin Master Cylinder

How easy was it to mount?

Yes,same one.Fits a treat and having a brakelight switch built in,theres no big banjo bolt/switch to deal with,replace when it fails or leaks.
Paid £56 for a new one off ebay without a lever,which cost £32 from Kawasaki.The banjo bolt is a M10X1.25,not the same as Ducati,but there only a couple of quid.
