HHD 4 piston (13mm vs. 16mm)

I am very curious about who is running what bore size with their 4 piston caliper.

Rule of thumb 13mm w/single piston. 16mm w/4piston. Ive heard of a few guys running 13mm w/4piston setups.

What works for you, and why?

thats what i have on my f4i an i totally agree.. only change i would make is single piston hohey jus so i dont have the 1 pump laG when switchn from foot to handbraKE. but on the 636 an gixxers i would never ride with a adapter on my own bike... i love the 4 piston on the 636.... the bike is so much faster an i love all the brake i can get to stall an whatnot when whipn it around.... HOHEY for life!!!!!:YEAH

thats with the 4 piston or even with the stock one it works good. the new set up is way better tho. i do think i am gonna get a brembo tho, even tho everyone tells me that mine is the **** the way it is. if your a lot of people make the mistake of not properly bleading there breaks too so that messes a lot up



and stop killing your handbrake!

haha

I just hate when I gas it too hard, or dump the clutch too hard, and my hand brake WONT bring me down, when my foot brake would have


I'm hoping a dual caliper with my 1000rr master will give me enough power to easily lock my wheel with 1 finger
