Good afternoon guys I was wondering if anyone has ever tried running with a 17 mm bore master and if that works okay.
It's going to increase lever effort significantly as well as be more "on" or "off" with far less feel.

Here's some reading for you about clutch ratios and how the lever travel and feel are affected by changing the ratio.

The second link is shown in Max Midnight's post.
You will have a better understanding about the stock bore size of the master cyl and how that relates to the number of pistons in your brake system serviced by the master cyl. You can also calculate what size bore you need if you change from single opposed pistons (two pistons opposite each other) to double opposed pistons (two pairs of pistons, four in all, for each brake rotor serviced, for a total of eight pistons serviced by one front master cyl.).
