get out the grinder and start shaving metal. I've had to do that on several less than exact masters I've run on the past

Re: brembo...

Run it on top and see how you like it... index finger on brake middle finger on clutch... A few guys out there love this setup... I personally don't.. along with most other stunters.....

But most of the street fighterz run them that way and so does a kid we ride with all of who are straight killing it... it's just preferance... but theres no way your getting the clutch on top of it and still getting the proper spacing..

Re: brembo...

Yeah I thought about trying it... but prolly should have started it as soon as I learned HB like he did to get it down... He says it gives him better brake control.... and I know it hasn't hurt his clutch control any...


Bishop is selling some knockoff brembos... I got one the other day 70 shipped to your door.. not sure how good they work just yet... could always buy a Gixxer.. it's a 3/4 but radial.. prolly 50 or so off of E-gay..

Sketchy can hook you up with a pimp magura 13mm!!
