Easier to Control
I'm switching from phi;16x16
16Ratio was fluffy and a little hard to ride.
This 18Ratio is very easy to control and easy to ride.
Motorcycle used is XJR1300
Yamaha's Monoblocks are standard for φ16 even for Double
When I see φ19 recommended in Motorcycle shops, I feel that I don't have enough knowledge about it. [You don't know. I can't help but think.
Maybe Caliper is planning to go brembo, too, and I don't blame them.

Radialization of brembo makes it easier to control.
[How is it used?
The OEM Master Cylinder was a brembo Semi-radialType MASTER with 3-step ratio adjustment (MCS). I was not worried about the touch, but I wanted to overhaul the master cylinder, but the price was not that much different from the OEM master cylinder because there was no Piston Single Item and I could only replace the master cylinder with an assembly. I decided to replace it with a radial master cylinder because the price was not that much lower than the OEMMASTER and I could overhaul it.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The package arrived in a gorgeous brembo style, but the product itself is a racing master, so it was a simple design with no unnecessary features.
Was the installation difficult?
It is the same as replacing a normal master cylinder, so if you can add a fluid and bleed air after replacing the master cylinder, you can replace the brake. However, since the brake is a life-threatening part, it is safe to ask a shop to replace it if you have never done so before.
How was your experience with it?
The OEMMASTER was 16×19-21, so I tried the MASTER with the same Piston size of 16×18, but the lever needs to be gripped more than before due to the smaller Ratio. I think the MASTER with 17mm Piston size is just right for the Caliper (M50 for STREET TRIPLERS) with 30mm Piston of brembo. I think it is good to use 16mm.
Although the grip has increased, the Brake is now firm from the beginning even with a light grip, and if you grip just enough, it will stop that much more firmly. This is partly due to the fact that the ABSUnit is still in use, but the Touch is a little fluffy, and honestly, if you want to grip it, you can grip it as far as you want. In fact, if you set the Lever distance too close to the Switch box, it will hit the Switch box immediately. Especially when the Throttle is a Ride-by-Wire model, the switch box and Throttle holder become large, and the lever hits the switch box more easily.
At first, I could not get used to the difference from the previous Touch feeling, and I sometimes gripped it too much, resulting in too much stopping.
However, the interference between the Lever and Switch box, which was a concern, was caused by heat coming in during the Race, so I will try to counteract this by changing the Lever or adding a Remote adjuster.
[Included Parts:were they on?
In addition to the MASTERBody, a Crash washer and Hydraulic Brake Switch are included. a Reserver tank and Hose are not included, so if the original tank or hose are not available, they must be prepared separately.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
As this was my first Radial master cylinder, I would say that this is about as good as it gets in terms of Touch feel. However, I was not satisfied with the touch feeling. It only stops as long as you hold it." This is exactly what I mean.

Quality upgrade for just about every bike
The lever works excellent, although you may have to fiddle with it a little on your bike. I have a 2005 Honda cbr600rr track bike with woodcraft bars and a motion pro throttle, and I had to fabricate my own master reservoir bracket because the brembo one would not fit in my area. Because each bike application is unique, you will require some mechanical abilities to match your space. Bleading was simple, adjustability was nice, and pull was a touch harsher than standard, but it performed well overall. View detail
