Brake Masters

Post by seb421 »

Right after a new better brake master cylinder for the storm

spotted a few nice ones off various bikes they all take the same brake switch plugs like the Honda's or will i have to mess about?

Thanks in advance to the boy's in the know.

Anything from Honda should be a simple hook up. Anything else (OEM or aftermarket fitted with a micro-switch) can be hooked up simply by splicing wires. The main thing I would be looking at are the actual dimensions of the MC so as to get the most from your braking system. Like Marty said, I have tried a few different set-ups and am now using CBR600F4i calipers (same as SP-1 and 98-99 Blade, with 34/32mm pistons) mated to an OEM Ducati/Brembo (1100 Monster) radial (19x16, which means a 19mm piston dia with a 16mm fulcrum length). Prior to this, I used a Nissin radial from a 2006 ZX-6R (19x18) and went to the Brembo for the softer lever it provides.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the info, so is the Brembo OEM 1100 Monster's going to be a lot better than a 954's OEM unit, im using 954 OEM calipers

How much better is a 954 unit over the Firestorm brake master too?

cheers to the both of you :)
