For handbrake I like my 16x18.

For front brake I use the 04-06 Yamaha R1 Radial - it's made by brembo and has the "B" logo stamped on it.

Same one that Bill D and Mitch (the stoppie guys) use - works great for me.

its all personal prefferance.

I've tried several different setups for my front brakes and my personal favorite is a 18x19 brembo radial with a shorty lever and goodridge kevlar lines, with ferodo pads

I find the 18x19 is a little less bitey than the 19x20 but has a lot more positive feedback and control for both endos and burnouts.

each to their own.

Its all about being comfortable with your setup IMO, there is no "BEST" but you cant deny the Brembo GP masters 18x19 or 19x20 are more consistant than any OEM master....Besides that its all about getting used to your setup, I didnt like the 19x20 when I put it on but now Im used to it and love it...I had it lying around and double brembos look cool so...LOL
