Besides the GSXR and the CBR 1000rr what other radials are out there? I was told the 05 r6 is good?? How do you tell the difference between radial and other?

brembo 16 x 18 works the best for the amount of money you pay. gsxr 1000 works well or honda 1000rr ( must be radial mount ) much better for mounting purposes , with a radial mount you can have your clutch and hand brake lever right on top of each other , that way you can start using them both at the same time !!!!

Re: What's the best handbrake to buy?
the front radial masters off streetbikes are designed to push enough fluid for 2 calipers with at least 4 pistons each. They obviously still work for a handbrake but if you want more power, you'll need to either strenghten your fingers or find a master that pushes less fluid. The Brembo 16 x 18 from yoyodyneti is a great example. There are other brands that sell even smaller masters...like 12,13,14 mm. But those might be too touchy.

Just put a brembo 16x18 radial on my bike after running an old 750 master for a few months.Night and day difference! Easy one finger lockups and way easier to use clutch handbrake together.The brembo master is pimp!

I just bought a master off of an 05 R6, the line will be on the top of it, but with my vortex clipons I should be able to move it in far enough it wont matter.
