Nice neat job with the carbon fibre bracket :clap:

What's the verdict on the Brembo master cylinder :?:

Chris.
Don't know yet Chris, only just fitted it and new pads going in so after bleed up its on the the rear linkage and the likes.
Might even fit a rear thumb brake,not decided yet,full write up when ready....
No problem, I look forward to hearing from you once the work has been done and you've had time to bed the pads in and get a feel of the new mods :thumbup:

Thanks for your reply,

Chris.

You can velcro it over the small one for MOT's. No-one expects the big ones to stay on for long, once you get your ticket.
Stick the red reflector on the big one as well, and you can't forget that come MOT time.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Still not 100% convinced on the flat bars TBH the only big difference I get from swapping between the two is your more up in the wind on the flat bars...

Spoilt for choice I guess ! If I was only riding the flat bar version it would be differnt...

I'm on a longer run next week sometime TBA see how it goes.

Few bits on Nue Red, put the smaller plate back on, did a bit of wire tidying on the left hand front indi whilst the fairing was off to put the LED H/L back in post MOT. :lol: :lol:

Pulled the pads from the front calliper to try & get the number off them to order some more... SBS 566HS apparently...

Good to hear your views Mac :thumbup:

It'll be interesting to see if you stick with the Renthal flat bar conversion, or swap them back to the OEM clip-ons. Or in your case keep both :D
