So who has a Brembo Radial Master Cylinder?

One of these…

I’m considering fitting one to my 94 Fireblade project bike, but I’m not sure if they are worth the £200 extra cost when I could just rebuild the current master cylinder…

I’ll be fitting braided hoses and I’ve rebuilt the calipers so the rest of the braking chain is sorted… Just wondering about the master cylinder…?

all my bikes have had a brembo master cylinder on them. in fact i move it from bike to bike.

had mine for donkeys years now and worth every penny

Remember that Superduke you rode … thats a brembo radial :slight_smile:

Get a R1 radial from 06 onwards if i aint mistaken just as good and 1/3 of price

Yeah been looking at those but apparently the ratio better suits radial calipers. Mine has conventional calipers which would be best suited to a 19/20 ratio master cylinder, or so the internet tells me…

Think I have a 19/20 Knocking about of you would be interested…

Oh bollox I’ve just bought one off ebay!

Thanks anyway Slow… Still might hit you up at some point for that fireblade crash cage :slight_smile:

i have one on my 2011 blade, bloody big difference!! The good news is it came off my K2 gixxer. So they can cross over bikes, i cannot remember even if i had to send it off to brembo for them to change around a bit.

Yes! Having changed from standard - r1 cailpers on the gsxr to now brembo’s on the Mille they are great!

Nice.

So I’ll be running stock Nissin 4pots with a 19/20 Brembo master cylinder. Should work a treat!

with 4pots i would (do) run a 19/18. the 19/20 has a firmer feel to the lever buts needs a little more effort for the same stopping as the 19/18.
19/20 works great on 6pot calipers though

oh and any of the Brembo OE radial master cylinders are NOT the same as the after market race ones :wink:

I wish you’d told me that before I went and ordered a 19/20!?! :crazy:

OK, bit late but be aware there’s a lot of fake Brembo master cyls on ebay. Google “fake Brembo master cyl” for the tell tale signs & check yours when you receive it, If it’s dodgy & you’ve bought with paypal then at least you can claim a refund.

you never asked…

it will be fine though :wink:

Cheers Pat, mine is a used item so hopefully it will be legit but I’ll give it a good checking over once it arrives…

Might be able to rig something up with the pivot if I don’t get along with the ratio, but as you say it should be fine! :slight_smile:

Also loop lockwire down through the pivot hole and secure back to top.

Ask Shakey Byrne why :smiley:
