Brembo Master Cylinder for the TLR
The master cylinder on my TLR is busted so I downgraded to a Brembo 19x18 unit. Downgraded?!? Yep, the one on the bike was a sweet AP Racing unit. I had contacted them about a new body but they basically told me to F off and buy a new one. My latest new Yoshimura full system didn’t cost as much as the AP unit. The adjustable ratio lever (which is still fully intact) goes for half the price of what I paid for the Brembo MC!
Anyway… Crap! http://www.mariposaderojo.com/Pics/T...ris/APRMC1.jpg The lowly replacement. http://www.mariposaderojo.com/Pics/T...BremboBMC1.jpg |

I'm just curious to know why you're killing yourself paying for these high-priced items when you do this as a hobby? If you were trying to reach pro status then I'd somewhat understand. If a brake lever system costs that much the thing should be made of titanium. :uh:

my confusion is non scpecific........confused?

You may have never looked at the function of the MC or how changing it effects braking performance, I have. From squeezing the original 14mm piston on the TLS's master so hard it would touch the bar to the 5/8" master taken off a TLR that aided immensely with braking performance to the radial 3/4" GSXR unit (Nissin) that offers a great deal more feel and power. My brakes have continually been upgraded over time; the master cylinder is something that can not be overlooked when making those changes. This MC will be on the TLR... A track specific bike. I'd like to think that braking isn't going to be a problem when slowing from 155+ into T1 at Summit. BTW... Who said I was killing myself paying for these things? |
They arent TL owners so they dont understand LOL

brembo? a budget solution? LOL.....look around an AMA paddock...or a motogp paddock.......then take a look at each budget. im curious as to how you see this as a "lowly" replacement.
do you race or just do trackdays? |

The Brembo unit is not a lowly or a budget MC but compared to the $595 retail price of the AP unit it's 1/3 the cost... Is it coming together yet? Track days with the hopes of doing some of the GP Moto Cup races during the later half of the year. |
