I tell people to feel it and every single person is like WTF is so hard!
I don't think I'd want it that hard for the front

Re: hohey triple on FF 636?

Just went outside and popped the stay in place before I finished my plastics. Yes it does hit on "My Setup". This is not a stab at any parties product. They both look great. Its just going to be a matter of finding a setup that works with what I got.
Some pics for your enjoyment..

I told you youd be feeling the 13mm's if you gave them a try, best master for single caliper hands down...**** will stall your bike and toss your *** over the bars with one finger..

We had the same issue on the right side throttle cables, rotate the throttle cable housing so the cables route under the front master not over. And you should gain clearance on that side...Also you might want to rotate your front brake master downward, it looks a little high (for me anyways) and might hit the stay at full lock....

And keep in mind your upper is going to need a serious trim job if you want to run your bars that straight out. Your lookin at cutting at least 6" or more off the top and sides...

Yeah I dont know if I'll like it better then the Brembo 19x20 either, but I always liked the Brembo 19x20 over the softer feeling 18x19 for my front brakes. The Magura takes it a step futher in the hardness, but I'll just have to wait and see how I like it...Just needed aother master for one of my bikes, and I figured might aswell have matching Maguras on the stunt bike and give it a try...

Sounds like your more of a 18x19 kinda guy then, as they have more "feel" then the 19x20's...Im the oposite I prefer a more rock hard feeling over stock, I like my lever to be right there with little spongeness...Pretty much the exact opposite of what I look for in a HB...And the differnce in my HB and FB are amazing one, one has mad feel and the other is like a rock...

Feel preference aside I love these high end radial masters becuse of how consitant they are, every time you pull that lever its the same. With good fluid and bleeding they never fade and are always on point...

PS you should look into the new Brembo RCS line of masters that have adjustable pivots, that will change the feel the master has....That way you can dial in your preference....This will be my next master purchase for sure

That was an "out of the box setup". I might have to turn the clipons in a bit. The stock banjo on the front master wont allow a downward rotation becuase it hits the fork tube. I will have to trim off the tabs on the master and rotate the steel banjo out of the way. All said and done it should come out fine.

Re: hohey triple on FF 636?

Ohh. And one question. Did you experience any trouble running the throttle cables under the HoHey triple? I am a bit concerned about pinching the cables underneath, so I ran them up top for now.

My friend with the 05 doenst have a HoyHey tripple yet and he has a Brembo for front brakes so there was no problem rotating the lever downward. On my street bike I had to trim off the tabs and alot of material that was around the banjo bolt. I had to do alot of grinding on the master to alow me to rotate it downward without the banjo bolt hitting the forks or tripple.. The HoyHey tripple is so thick around the forks that it was really gettting in the way I dont think there would be any problems running the cables under, as long as they dont get kinked bad you should be fine...Dont sweat it man you just need to spend some time setting it all up, you should be able to find a good setup for youself...You just cant expect to turn your **** out straight like Kliewer, unless your willing to cut alot of upper and stay away like he has done....Its just not possible...

i have the short stay, and a cut upper with stock flipped and turned clipons and i run it fine with no problems, so i dont see what my clearence issues would be with the triple?

Everyones setup is differnt, its hard to say what someones clearance problem is without actually havin a look at the bike in question....

About the 13's they are not on/off at all, if youve tried a 16x18 Brembo just imagine that times 2 or 3.....Its got way more feel then the 16x18 and if your reef on it with one finger it will dead lock up the wheel and stall the bike...

I could not stall out my bike with a 16x18 with 2 fingers, but I can stall it out with the 13mm with one finger and not much effort at all..Its got more feel and when you reef on it, it has a punch to it...And Ive really had to adapt my technique to its power, cause if you jam on it like you would with a 16x18 your going over the bars...

Talk to -SKETCY-, I bought 6 from him so far and hes a good guy!

He used to get them from a distributor and they only had like 2 in stock each time Id order, and you could only get the right hand masters. Now he says he can buy them direct from Magura so he can get left or right hand ones, and they have as many as you want...

I have the more expensive 190 series that are billet, but there is also a cheaper 195 fordged sersies

Hey SKETCHY did you ever get a chance to compare the 195 13mm to the 190 13mm? Are they any differnt in preformance?

Re: hohey triple on FF 636?

Thanks. I just shot Sketchy a PM about it. So the 195 is a right handed cast body just like my Brembo 16X18 ?

Im not sure if the 195 forged version is available in a left and right, but yes the 195 series are just like the cheaper foged Brembos. And the 190 series are like the Brembo Billet masters, and those can be had in left and right....
