If I remember correctly some SR1000s came with silver masters, some with gold.  Your lever color?  Your choice, that is what customizing is about.

It's funny tho if I search eBay for sr1000 masters they all are silver even in stock photos online

Look for stock s4 springs to replace the S2R 1k progressive. They are linear, fit perfect and the spring rate works perfect for the S2R 800. That is what I did.

generally set up for a rider at about 180lbs.

Cheap mod with spectacular results.

{EDIT} I just noticed you bought ST2 Forks. Not sure if they are identical to S2R 1k but if they are, then my advice still applies.

You dont need to upgrade the master cylinder on your bike. I've used the stock master cylinder for the brakes with S2R calipers. They provide a very linear feel. I've used someone elses upgraded master and the brakes were too grabby and not as progressive.

Ps15 vs ps16

ducati have alternated b/w 15 and 16 for twin disc set ups over the years.

Yup...and 5 /8"

I had an m800 before my S2R 800. The bike got totaled when I got sideswiped .I kept the old calipers for front and rear and the old lines from it.

Pretty much a bolt on swap.

pretty bike, i have the same rear blinkers on

Installed them in the front too.. They poke up just enough to be seen in front but also stick in enough to create a halo reflection off the front windscreen thats visible to cars from the side.

Look great too and very effective.

St2 springs are linear

I got the sr1000 rotor calipers and mc. So I am going to change all. Not sure the 800 mc would work well with the 1000 calipers

the calipers on the m800 are identical to the calipers on the 1000.  

exact.  same. part.

Ducati used the same calipers on almost all their non-superbikes between 99 and about 2005.

Wut?

800 yes. S2R800 no.

S2R800 Dark = 2Pot small calipers as used in M620 Dark/M695, as per DCS
