[m1keyp]

I am considering fitting a radial master cylinder.

Should I do it?

Will I notice the difference?

Am I right in thinking that the corect size is 19mm bore/20 ratio?

Where is the best place to buy it?

thanks

[Jasper]

Yes,yes,yes and Nelly at Cornerspeed.

Don't go for the Brembo, it is way overpriced for what it is (cast, no brake switch etc)

http://www.redracingparts.com/en/pro...cyldiscacc.htm

CNC machined, brake light switch fitted (a brembo one is £30+ ) with flip-up levers to prevent them from snapping



And they are TUV approved as well

217 Euros, Thats about £150

ditto Jasper.

just bought and fitted one from Nelly. he also has the brake light pressure switches in stock.

Can be a little fiddly to fit. Very little clearance I found between the throttle assembly and the clip on part, where the MC will sit. I had to trim a little lug off the switch gear housing to get it to fit properly. No big deal, and not seen when fitted. Also the reservoir needs to be relocated.

I have fitted P4 calipers and SBK pads prior to fitting the MC and the total package is now eye-poppingly good...infact I would go as far as saying it would be a liablitly in the wet...and is probably over kill for the road..but it is nice to know the stopping power is there if I need it!!

For the track...its the dogs danglies

EVERYONE should do this. Fantastic peices of kit. Bad timing though..ive just flogged flanker a brand new DP superbike upgrade kit with all the gubbins included !!!

I would recommend the 19x18 version (as used by the hodgemeister!!!!) - nice feel.

Don't matter - Mikes listened to reason and sensibly gone for the Discacciati radial cylinders :P

Thanks for the replies!

Went for the DJ tera option but got sucked into the clutch MS aswell.

They replied to myorder in minutes so i will keep you informed.

Thanks again Mike

Mike, DJ

Which Discacciati did you order, and did you order anything else to help with fitting?

[DJ Tera]

Just the m/cyl mate (19mm), it comes with a brake switch, and I was told to use the original brakeline and reservoir

Should be here by Monday - tax free too, gotta love the Italians!

Hi Mr_s

Fitting should be straight forward no other bits are required.

My handle bars are non standard (www.cyclecat.com ask for Alfred) fully adjustable height and angle but I do see a problem.

I will let you know when they arrive, i liked the fact that the brake switch was fitted and that the levers flip up
