I've been having a problem with my front MC being way too notchy for my tastes. So, i've been looking for a new master cylinder, hopefully some type of upgrade.
I was looking into the R6s MC, which appears to be a direct swap.
I also saw this:

The real brembo one goes for almost 10 times what that one is going for... I'm pretty skeptical.
Any more suggestions for a smooth MC?
Radial brake master cylinders?

Re: Radial brake master cylinders?
Well stay away from that. Those are garbage made for scooters. You'll notice they state that they are for "single brake" applications.
Just got with the yzf or R6 master like everyone else. You can get a good deal on a complete set of R6 brakes (master, calipers).
Im assuming you have a stock brakes.

Yeah, I forgot to mention I have stock brakes.
The R6(s) brake swap is looking to be the better option.

Yeah those things are complete garbage. I wouldn't use one on a bicycle.
My YZF master is spoken for but I have a set of Tokico calipers I'll sell ya.

Re: Radial brake master cylinders?
The one's like that you have there in that link are junk as already stated. The R6s is using pretty much the same front brake system as what is used on the 97-06 YZF600r Thundercat (which the R6s replaced). A master cylinder from either of those bikes is a very good upgrade even if you keep your stock calipers.
