i am a first time builder, so bare with me.  i have a front caliper which is an ultima brand....i'm ready to match up my front master cylinder to this caliper.  i've noticed 9/16 , 3/4, etc bores for the master cylinder.  do i need to match the caliper to the master cylinder bore size to get my brake line to fit properly?

The bore designates the amount of fluid that the master cylinder pushes to the caliper. Some are for single and dual-disc applications as well as different sized rotors.

9/16 IS GENERALLY USED FOR SINGLE FRONT ROTOR  SPORTSTERS-DYNAS-/11/16-3/4 USED FOR DUAL FRONT ROTORS OR HEAVIER LARGE FRONT TIRE /BAGGERS
