Re: Import front master cylinder questions
An early R1 or R6 14mm master cylinder will improve the feel of an import Brembo or Blue spot caliper set up.... I've got a few kicking about if you want to try one...

Re: Import front master cylinder questions
Would a 14mm master cylinder be big enough to drive two brembo calipers? I had a 14mm brembo m/c on my SZR running twin 40mm brembos and it wasn't enough. I had to go up to a 16mm off a 916. Anyway, if you're giving them away for nothing I'll have one...

It's big enough to drive two blue spots so yes. You can have one on 'sale or return' if you want to try it....Kayla wrote:Would a 14mm master cylinder be big enough to drive two brembo calipers?

Re: Import front master cylinder questions
Thank you for the offer but I'll stick with the bits that are on it for the time being. I'm in the middle of streetfightering the bike and really don't want to have to bleed the brakes through again (am lazyhonkdawillydahonk wrote:It's big enough to drive two blue spots so yes.

Re: Import front master cylinder questions
Are you still running stock import springs?My brembo's would rattle fillings as it bounced off the bottom of the shocks with the Japanese set up!
Now better with Euro springs, Dunlop pads dealt with to fit, and the oil sorted.
Should give you some idea how good they can be!
