The top teams all use the CNC'd Brembo which costs considerably more than the Discacciati (Which is even cheaper than the cast Brembo).

So, I suppose Hawk Kawasaki, Monstermob Ducati, Rizla Suzuki, to name a few are not top teams then, eh?

Yeah, I could save 20 quid as well, but why? Why are so many people prepared to experiment with brake systems?

Still, you pays your money and all that...

I think you have to add 20% VAT to Red Racings prices.

You're hardly taking your life into new realms of danger though are you...? You don't tend to read in the rag about Discacciati mc's exploding in a ball of flame and killing thousands with shrapnel from their cnc'd little bodies

And it might only be £42 between the cast Brembo and the Discacciati but its another £180 on top for the CNC Brembo....

If you're beiing picky would you say Hawk, Monstermob and Rizla Suzuki are WSBK or MotoGP teams....

As you say though you pays your money and all that. Wouldn't mind but I don't even have a radial mc....

I think the main improvement is in feel, the power thing is all done with mirrors as shazaam has very eloquently explained before.
The combination of decent pads and a radial m/c certainly is an improvement over stock though.

BTW, the Brembo m/c lever is infinately adjustable over a very wide range
