update:
I ended up "winging it" and trying out a M/C from a 2008 Kawasaki 1400. Lost the right side mirror mount with this set-up. Dramatic improvement overall with the front brakes. Had to shim the lever (slightly depressed) to get the lever travel and lever position closer to where it needed to be. Brakes are significantly stronger now and I now need to increase fork spring preload to reduce the more noticeable front end dive on the brakes. Not a perfect modification, especially with the loss of the mirror mount but, I would not go back to the OEM.

I took a master cylinder off of a 2002 Kawasaki ZRX (cause I had a spare) and put it on the CBX. You'll retain your
mirror, it will use your stock levers, and the braking is way better than stock. The ZRX masters are the same from
2000 - 2005 . . . . and you can get them cheap on ebay !
And they dont look bad fitted up on the bike eaither !
