Question Need to lower brake lever on 2005 ZX-6R due to hand numbness

Hi,

I just did my first track day on my new 2005 ZX-6RR and had a blast. Awesome machine. The only problem was my right hand goes numb after a while. I need to lower the brake lever to match the angle with my arm. Unfortunately I can't get it low enough with the banjo bolt / lower part of the master cylinder hitting the fork. Would changing the master cylinder do the trick? Any suggestions on which one to get?

I happen to not like the feel of the front brakes. They're too mushy and had planned on looking into a master cylinder rebuild or caliper change anyway.

The ZX-6RR brake components are the same as the 6R or 636. I'd appreciate any suggestions thanks!!
