Re: brembo 16x18
**** the 16x18 why spend hundreds when you can spend $20-$80. just buy any master with a remote reservoir, im running a 954 master that isnt even a radial and it works better than any other radial ive owned.

Re: brembo 16x18
the problem with all the front brake masters from streetbikes is they have a LARGE bore size which is meant to be compressing into 2 seperate volumes (2 calipers) and when you switch it to handbrake it's hard as hell to squeeze, arm pump like crazy because you're making it squish only one caliper out
I rode with mine for 8 or 9 months (wish I had the brembo off the gate) don't get me wrong they work, but you'll get to a point where your skills will exceed the ability of that master. running a finger on clutch and a finger on the brake was a joke with that lever way too hard
the reason the brembo is sooo good is it's bore is 16x18 and it's real purpose is for the front of a race motard bike that uses only 1 caliper. make sense? I LOVE MY BREMBO and there is no looking back. basically any 16mm radial will work perfect and brembo happens to be the most reasonably priced model.

Re: brembo 16x18
amen, i run an old 900rr master that is 14mm.....great diameter for high pressure, low volume of a single caliper setup. mine works great with tons of pressure and good feel. i haven't had problems with it and it cost me 10$. for cost to function ratio, the brembo better suck my **** while i'm using it cause i really don't think the feel will be that much more than mine....there's no way the power can be, can't get any more powerful than locking up a tire with 1 finger.

I said all the same **** and was sold on my r1 radial.. until I used a 16x18.
