Hi Bob
Alan is querying the change in size of the Brake cylinders (plural). I
assumed therefore he meant wheel cylinders, and they were changed for a
short period. Reducing the front sizes without changing the back would
change the relative balance.

Just curious ... why would changing the bore of the m/c
change the balance?
Wouldn't any change in pressure be applied equally, leaving status quo?
