I know man i have the clutch HB tricks down, we were just throwin out ideas......plus a four piston rear caliper would allow a not so good master up front....like one that fits better on your bar with the clutch, but doesnt necesarily have enough power....just gives you more options

 

thats why u let air into the line. i run some air in my HB line cause i bled that ***** to damn well.

 

i know this, i my HB ain't hard at all, but pretty cool to pull, lookin forward to findin' somethin givin ya a good feedback!!
got a modified rearbrake MC, with braided line from Hand MC to foot MC and from there to caliper, i kept stock (plastic) line which enables me to get somethin smooth, and not hard as ****....


as "livingcanvas" said, just wonderin if anyone tryed it to know how it feels, and i can't see why it couldn't be as good as a good MC.
I think the difference between a stock rear caliper and a "special" one (as the pvm) is about the same as between a sick Brembo MC and a basic ****in one

 

ya i guess a sick rear caliper would be bad *** but they cost more than a 16x18 brembo

 

fullthorttle inc. better jump on this!

 

what i mean is if you could have any dimension bore what woudl the ideal size be. for instance if i was to make a master, what dimensions do you think would work the best for your aplication. 16X18

 

^ prodigy, knock it off.. you make a hb for me, not foryou!

 

a 16mm bore is going to be the best for pressure but again it also has to do with the throw of the lever that would be the 18mm part of 16x18 so the ideal size would be 16x18

 

right on it! anyway can't afford any of em for the moment Lol

 

so basically you think a 16mm is th ebest because it isnt as touchy as a 20mm (for instance) with the same stroke? would a 14 X 20 be better? so you dont have as much line pressure , but you have alot of travel , so better feel/control? just kinda trying to understand a little better.

 

read the first pages correctly, you'll get all this in it....

and just wonderin, would a 16X18mm not radial MC would fit perfectly, or did y just try the radial ones?

 

radial are the best with clip-ons cause the non-radial type will hit your fork tube when ajusting it at a down angle

 

This is really good info. I want to step it up this year and have a 900RR MC I was going to use but wasn't sure about it. I would rather invest the money and get the right thing the first time. Money spent well the first time is better than more money spent later in the game.

Thanks for the time posting this

I got one but am having a hard time tracking down a rubber line that will fit the dam thing for the reserve. We don't have too many bike shops around here....

Anyone have a place online where I can order a foot or so and cut it down ?


Camo Mike

 

Go to autozone or napa and get some rubber line.

 

Dam, I got owned by Paul 900... Thanks for not telling me in person dawg but by blowing me up on SL. hahhahha

Good pic man, classic Paul 900 moment. soon you will be juggling on those no handers, or calling your gurl making dinner plans......

 

Okay tonight I won a Brembo 16x18 for a total of $133.50 shipped Ebay Item number: 4638662860 okay deal since new ones go for $210.00 plus. I own a 01 F4i and currently am running a 03 636 master cylinder with a rear master cylinder adapter. I can't lock my rear tire with one finger infact its kind of hard to slow the bike down without pulling like a mother (1 finger) and I don’t have any air in the line so that’s not an issue. I swapped this weekend my 636 master with a 929 master and it sucked even worse so I figured I needed to try something different so I hope this coming weekend I'll have my Brembo 16x18 to tell you all how well it works. I am not doing SS circles but I like breaking out SS's in lots and the street from time to time and really need a better feel and control of my hand brake since I haven’t got my ss on lock yet so I got to see for myself about the Brembo 16x18. I'll post up once I have tested it and if I f@ck up my bike testing it I’ll post those pictures up also

 

I was bidding on that same one let me know how it works out for ya

 

Okay will do! Trust me when I say that the brembo is going to a good home I'll post up how she does.

 

i have the 16 x18 brembo mc and the full throltle rear master , and i can lock up the hand brake with one finger no prob, if yoy try this new brembo and its still doesnt work for you than you must have air in the lines, remember than you have to bleed the **** out of these things to really get them perfect , bleed them upside donw sideways front back etc. air will stay in there as much as it can , so to bleed it by hand normally doesnt really do the job , get a air compressor and air compressed bleeder and you'll be in the zone , i have a had about 5 hand brakes on my bike and by far the brembo 16x18 was the best one so far , so bleed bleed bleed is the key
