    Easy. If you know how to bleed your brakes then it's simple.

    Just need to make a little bracket to pick up the top triple clamp bolt or brembo sell various types.

    I mounted mine in a way which allowed me to use the OE hose etc

    Yes the lever is included. The lever determines the ratio. Either 18 or 20.

    There are different bores available like 16 for single calumets or 19 for twin disc non brembo callipers etc

    For the road a 19x18 works great

    Agreed , The feel is awesome with them. The standerd MC pulls half way in before it starts to bite where the brembo is awesome

    This is my next upgrade but cant find them under 230

    Hmm tempting, but I've got Pazzo Levers on mine & I'm sure I've read somewhere that you can't fit it in conjunction with them.

    On the normal type you change the lever to change the ratio. The rcs can be changed between 18 and 20 using the same lever. The RCS is over £100 more.

    To keep the brake light just fit a pressure switch banjo bolt. Fit spade connectors and OE wiring plugs straight in.

    Are you guys running with the Honda recommended Dot 4 brake fluid or have you moved to 5.1 ?

    brembo advise 5.1 with their MC's

    shell 5.1 fluid is only a few quid in M&S. halfords do castrol which on the bottle says 'exceeds DOT4' so im guessing that would be fine too.

    interesting read as the brake's are stupidly poor IMO
    was going to do lines and pads first then take it
    from there.
