PT Racing radial master cylinder

Well, finally got around to install it!
Was going to change the pads to Carbon Lorraine SBK5 but there where so much left on the sintered cheapos i got so i didnÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t do it....

ANYWAY, both for safety and trackdays the change from R6 MC to the PT radial is a "bloody Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â´ell" experience!!
I donÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t think iÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´m lying when saying that the stopping distance is half of what it was....brute force!! Should be even more extreme with the SBK5Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s and some EBC pro lite discs!

The hydraulic break switch bought on ebay works a charm also! Recommended!!

The best brake set up i have ever experienced was a magura master cylinder with PFM narrow swept area disks and six pot calipers....

IMO PFM disks would be far better than the ebc prolite disks.

I've mounted Braking Wave discs with sintered braking pads. This is a huge difference with the standard trim. With only one finger on the (now short PazzoRacing) lever and the TRX really bites hard!

I do notice that all the braking parts are substantial more warmer then the original one's with a regular drive round the block. This is due to better friction I know, maybe I've not noticed it so much with the old original parts

Maybe the next step could be other calipers and a radial master cylinder

Due to overheating or just bad production?
