    Si, we got the rcs mc from carpimoto Italy. You can use the stock reservoir if you make a bracket, if not, buy the kit from carpimoto.
    Clutch lever and perch came from Harris performance. Problems not yet sorted. I am awaiting the prototype to be sent.
    Banjos are sort of ok if you use 4 copper washers, or you could shorten the double banjo a bit.

    Not needed, Steve has it all covered there :)

    Caprimoto are excellent and I used 4 washers the same as Steve.

    Also, has it got rid of all the sponginess and lever travel that the oem set up has? Th lines have helped, but under hard braking, the lever comes very close to the fingers....

    i have a Brembo, supplied and fitted by Padgetts, and yes it solves the sponginess, to point I had to adjust it down to give it more play.

    Will look for exact part code - I got it 2/nd but the originally supplied, then got them to re-fit to my bike.

    Was part of my £1,000 service bill in January !

    I think they do do shorter levers and the drilled out ones like in moto GP.

    The feeling is much improved over std I'm using the 20 setting and it's perfect for the road, the clutch pull is not perfect yet but Steve is sorting that out, not to say its terrible but it could be improved slightly, but both units are gorgeous to look at as well.
    4 washers supplied with my brake as well.

    I bought the reservoir kit about £50 but it fits perfectly, I'm not as skilled or clever as Steve to make the bracket, but if you are it saves a few bob.

    Spongyness is not down to the master it self as such it's the ratio they use to give good overall braking for all, Brembo say 20 ratio for the road as its hard non progressive feel is good in the event of an emergency as you will hopefully not pull to much brake, 18 ratios more progressive and powerfull lever point can be hard to NOT pull too much brake in the same event, 18 and 20 ratios are the pivot point they both use a 19 piston so in effect have the same braking power it's just the feel that changes, the OEM masters use a more compromising piston and pivot ratio that's better all round and more friendly in the even of an emergency, if you change your calipers to M4s with a 19x20 you will have Awsome brakes... just thought I'd add that....lol
