Brembo Master Cylinder Group Buy............

Somthing to factor in guys, your standard hose will not fit a Brembo [from Cylinder to reservoir] so you'll need to buy the res-lit
Brembo are around £48 including Reservoir bracket

Or Goodrich are around £35 including bracket

 

Bollocks! So if you get the rcs and brembo bracket for reservoir it's £300. Is that right?

 

Hi fisher, so the standard reservoir can't be used with the brembo rcs? Is that correct.

 

Sadly not mate, the outlet of the Brembo cylinder and the reservoir is a lot smaller than the standard

 

Thanks a lot for your reply, it just keeps getting dearer doesn't it. Lol.

 

But worth every penny mate, we all buy "Cans" for the noise, and maybe limited power increase.

Fitting a Brembo really does transform the braking

 

Incorrect
i have used the standard reservoir on my RCS
had to make up a bracket and get a new pice of hose to fit from the res to the mc with cost pence!!

 

Hi Rp1

Thanks for the info.

Please could you post a picture illustrating the bracket and new hose.

Also please would you include dimmensions of the new bracket

Many thanks

Rich

 

Yep no problem, i'll sort some out for you

 

A couple of pics to give you an idea of what i done
A pice of aluminium cut and bent with holes drilled in places then sprayed
may not be to everyones liking but it looks ok and dose the job

 

Does anyone know exactly how much I'm looking at then for the rcs, reservoir and bracket? Thanks.

 

Any of you guys fitted the BREMBO MC19x18 or 19x20?

I know flatstickHRC fitted the Brembo MC 19x18 recently, anyone else?

Searching on the internet has highligted the requirement for a new bracket for the Brembo RCS, however not sure whether the fixed ration MC's (19x18 etc) require a new bracket or whether the original Honda bracket will fit!!!

Will make some telephone calls tomorrow.

I'm going to go for a fixed ration 19x20 MC rather than the RCS, as I don't think that I would use the flexibilty of being able to vary from 20 ratio to 18 ratio!!

 

If I was to join in with this I don't really know which one I need being you've now given us options!
This is probably a really stupid question but can my current levers still be mounted with a different master cylinder?

 

No they cant Andrew.

I fitted the 18/20, the good thing about these Brembo's are they'll fit any bike, so when you sell fit the standard jobbie and put the Brembo on the new bike

 

So I take it the unit will come with a lever then?

 

Is that the correct type of rubber hose to be resistant of the fluid corroding it ? Does it sweat at all ? The HRC receiver kits have a thin pink tube for the front that must be designed for a brembo as it was to small for my standard mc . the kits are 20 bucks on ebay

If you do get through bikeracer maybe try them on a group buy?

 

Looking at the master cylinders available the RCS is the only one with a brake light switch, so if you go for the standard MC you will also have to factor in a brake pressure switch.
