looking for some input from you guys.
I have the full throttle single caliper adapter setup with an unknown master (pic below, if anyone knows what it is that would help me out a bunch, says nissin but that about all i know, im sure its a stock brake from something)

I need help on 2 things (I have done alot of searching, and yes i know alot of this is personal preference.

1. I just dont feel like this setup is that great, I feel like i have to squeeze the **** out of it to slow the bike down and id like something with a little more braking power. should i:
A. get a better master
B. get a 4 piston caliper ( thought about keeping my setup and getting a 4 piston adapter, running still the one caliper adapter but it would be a 4 piston rather than a 2)
C. get a dual caliper setup, ( i like the hohey "streetfighters setup with the 2 piston for the foot and the 4 piston for the rear)

2. If i decide to ditch my current setup will i need to replace the rear foot master since its tapped for the adapter?

 

a four piston caliper will help alot in the power department! also ditch that msr perch quick...get a RSC...much better set up!!!!!

 

you think the 4 piston but using only one caliper is a dumb idea? its alot cheaper if i do it that way... got a link to that lever setup? i dont mind the msr lever, although maybe thats because its all ive ever used...

 

Looks like a stock R6 master

I would start at getting a new master. Brembo just came out with an andjustable one http://www.naarden.biz/proddetail.as...-Forged-Radial
This is a clutch side 16x18 or a 16x20 that is adjustable. I feel most of your problem is the master.

But if that doesnt work which i really really think that will help you a lot. then If you were on anything but a f4i i would move to a hohey dual single caliper and expand it out to a single and a 4 piston but the f4i is the only one that doesnt take the bracket upgrade. Sooo either the street fighter 4 piston ( http://www.naarden.biz/proddetail.as...Bracket&cat=47 ) + single or the dual single ( http://www.naarden.biz/proddetail.as...Bracket&cat=47 ) or if you want all of it the full throttle. ( http://www.naarden.biz/proddetail.as...4piston&cat=47)

 

here is a link for the rsc....http://www.righteousstuntmetal.com/
and i think its better to have two seperate rear brake systems but the adapter brkt w/ a four piston caliper helped me a bunch....it would be more than enouph for someone who is just starting out....i only swiched mine to a duel 4 piston b/c of the conflict beween hb and fb and for longer pad life...... but the performance is about the same i think.... keeping your lever long on your hb makes a huge diff too....

 

the answer is everything you said. that master is crap. probably a front brake flipped off a random bike or something. Depends on what you want to do. Lot stunting a r1 probably not too good of an idea. So if you just want a hb you can do ss down the streets then just get a brembo 16x18 and get a 4 piston caliper and use a tear drop fitting. You will be money. Even a 2 piston on the streets with a brembo would probably be plenty.

 

what bike???

 

sorry, its an 02 F4i

 

I'm running a dual single piston set up on my f4i with a Magura master. works well enough.

 

i have an fti adapter plate to run a four piston nissin caliper if you want it pm me....


it uses the stock bracket and you just bolt the adapter to it....works pretty good, i just got a duel so i dont need it any more!

 

im thinking about getting this setup..if he accepts my offer
https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/464...-dual-cal.html
is this master going to perform alot better than mine? of am i still being too cheap? plus with this guys setup i cant run a 4 piston caliper.

 

ya, its much better than what you got now..... that brembo will make a huge diff. also i like the stock caliper for f/b and four piston for h/b.... mine is four piston for both.....kinda touchy on the foot brake but you just get used to being gentle w/ it i guess....ya whatever you wanna do on that, this set up is def better , but the adapter is much cheaper, in the long run you will be far better off to get that other set up, but if your broke mine works well also....

 

thanks beardo, i actually just splurged and got the dual 4 piston bracket and im gonna look around for an ri brembo master... thanks a bunch. I got a buddy who will most likely want your adapter so ill keep you posted

 

word!!! that 4 piston is gonna be alot different when you foot brake!!! takes some getting used too for sure, but you will love it in time!!!!

 

anybody rocking a frembo in this thread is discredited from giving advice....seriously..

 

why must you hate....i havent saw you turn a single tank circle with your almighty magura!!!! discredited!!!

 

correction....frogs dont count!!!

 

thats prob. because you are around half the time im riding fool..ive def. turned a revolution atleast in HC/50/50/spreader...ask around or show up to the airport once in a while if you wanna see it in person..haha..and im not "hating"(such a dumb term used too much irrisponsibly)on your frembo,just dreading the day it fails and i gotta scrape you and your bike off the eway...now stop giving out advice squid and leave that to the people who can actually ride....lol

 

pay your phone bill then get a magura...lol..been texting you for days wondering why it keeps saying"message failed"

 

call my home phone buddy!!! im so poor i cant pay attention...let alone a cell phone bill....lol ill pm you the # if you need it....
