aftermarket master cylinder

[moanthebairns]

My master cylinder on the track bike is fked, diagnosed by the poster formally known as Loon R1 of all people and confirmed the last time I rode it on track, I promptly shat it after noticeable sporadic decreased braking ability.

You can rebuild them but fk it I'll just get a new one. So original or aftermarket. Anyone seen much difference from standard?

What brand or just buy a brembo.

Bikes a Daytona 675

Brembo RCS

Massive difference in my opinion, some carbon pad and braided lines and you should out braking them all. Loon R1 would have told you that surely?

Love my brembo..

He was too busy telling me how quiting smoking is the best thing he's ever done with his life for the millionth time whilst looking down at me as all ex smokers do.

so this is what I need?

Are these that good? My worry is I'll need to get four after trying one The old ninja certainly could do with an upgraded m/c even the most clairvoyant person would struggle to stop that bike if a kid walked out.

Could just buy a used Nissin from eBay. The brakes were OK before it failed weren't they. And it'll free up more money for fags.

your looking at £100 ish on ebay for ones that look as fked as mine. I can only one finger brake so this might help me be more aggressive and I can use the fact its for racing so it doesn't need to make sense. I'm gonna quit smoking.......one day

Oh my... Granted I could have got an original new m/c for £90 less. But it came with a wee credit card authentication thing.

Yes... RRPS are excellent. If you contact them directly Brett might knock a few quid off.

The RCS19 is superb - wish hadn't sold mine.

+1 for Brett. I get most of my stuff through him now when I can. He's a decent guy, and will always help you out on costs too, so give him a ring

He took a fiver off it on eBay with offer bit. He was cheapest by miles so wasn't bothered arrived in less than 24 hours.

I have no more excuses for being st

I fitted this at the weekend but it comes with a double holed banjo bolt.

I am running original braided lines, which go over the mudguard. The thread on the existing banjo setup isn't correct for the brembo. So options.

Get a single line brembo banjo bolt.

or

Get new race lines. One from each caliper.

As I said I have the over the mudguard type, these are the original braided hoses, 10+ year old plus ones. Will I see any improvement with braking going to the race setup. By that I mean noticeable. I ask before I spent £60 on lines when a £5 bolt would do.

Do you not need separate lines for scrutineering?

I never got called up racing at Knockhill.

[moanthebairns]

If I've read that correctly the break In lines might mean the over mudguard type aren't race spec. I'm not sure.

Anyway I'll get single lines. I'm just holding off a week or so because hel do their promos around this time. Last year I think everything was 50% off for a day this time last year.

Well finally got to try the Brembo on the ninja, the difference is night and day from the original 20 year old M/c. I actually have brakes that work now. A much needed improvement on the standard and probably the best mod I could have done for a 20 year old bike, I was carrying a pillion so it’s only going to get better when I go out alone, just need to see what its like on the track with the Daytona. Very happy with it, gives a better feel and more confidence in braking. Money well spent.
