Thumbs up 94 hurricane question

Hey guys, first off many thanks to the people of the forum,im new my bike wouldnt be where it is today with you. Its also my first bike, a 94 1000f hurricane. Learned to ride and built her from basicly no knowledge of bikes or motors for that matter,bought her for 300 bucks from a friend with only 13k miles but now she runs/looks great but i have a few questions.

First im missing the front brake master cylinder. Do i have to use the specific year for this or can i interchange? And any ideas where a half cheap one might be?
Also are there any thoughts on where i might order a front right upper fairring? i basicly made my own off a pastic toy car and some fiberglass. but id like to get something more fitting haha

thanks in advance and hope to hear many comments

Fairings made from kids KozyKoop is Sprocks niche normally but Malbo's 100K machine should have what you need. TimBucTwo and a few others have split their brakes and deleted the front LOWER master cylinder. If you want to maintain the original, Im sure parts can be had.

What does splitting the lower do exactly? Does it eliminate the master hand brake or what sorry if that's a dumb question haha
I've been downshifting and foot braking to stop/slow down and that can get a little dicey if done improperly sometimes, but I've never been a hand brake type so I'm comfortable with it

You must be talking delinking the linked brake system.

It does just that - separates existing linked braking system
into front only from hand lever , rear only from foot lever

People do it because the linked brake system in contrast
to the non linked CBR 1000F's have a tendency to want to
stand up when brakes are applied while cornering. Well
that and a few other riding & control issues
