A handle bar master cylinder assembly for supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid through a brake line to actuate a brake in a vehicle. The assembly comprises a master cylinder having a master cylinder body defining a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a reciprocating master cylinder piston located within a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a handle bar attachment bracket connected to the master cylinder body and having a park pawl engagement section, a hand brake lever rotatably secured to the handle bar attachment bracket and in abutting contact with the reciprocating master cylinder piston, and a park pawl pivotably secured to the hand brake lever, the park pawl having an end engageable with the park pawl engagement section of the handle bar attachment bracket to maintain the brake lever in an applied position. When the pawl is set, a park pawl compensation flexure occurs due to a change in hydraulic fluid temperature.
