    guys;

    Got the suspension sorted (Penske and traxion) and since my previous track bike was an F3 Im more than happy with the power, but I want to try and improve the brakes. i have kevalr lines, running Vesrah pads (the mid cost ones) on standard rotors. Whats the best bang for the buck to improve the brakes. i rode a buds 996s with the wave rotors and thought they worked well, are they worth it. What about brembo rotors/
    any guys have any experince and ideas?

    Thanks

    my 2000 gsxr 750 has EBC prolite rotors the GFA "kit" pads braided lines and a brembo master cyl off of a 748 and it stops my 275lbs pretty well...........

    yeah, the brembo master cylinder is tits. i want one for my bike.

    and any aftermarket rotors with the suggested pads for that rotor would be an improvement.

    puresportsdesigns Yea, I guess

    I have an SV with GSXR front end. EBC ProLite rotors and EBC HH pads make for easy one finger braking.

    I have located a duc brembo master, a pal had one lying around, does it matter what year it is from?
    also, why does this make a dif, coz its basically just a conbtainer for the brake fluid? im not disputing it isd better , hjust wonder why?

    Cheers

    the internal ratio,s are different plus its just a better unit, i tried a couple before i settled for this one they all seem to work differently, if you want to improve the brakes on a budget just use steel lines good fluid (i use motul 600f) and EBC race kit pads (the GFA model HHs not the GF model HHs) and you will find a massive improvment with that alone, depending on wich year your new master cyl is off and wich bike they all seem to work different, mine is off a 2000 748SP i got it from the UK a while back, good luck.......

    Ok thanks.
    Im gonna put the brembo on.
    Im researching aftermarket rotors as well.
    I have the kevlar lines and vesrah pads but they do start to fade a bit.
    thanks a lot guys. jus one last q, to be sure i understand, the master cylinder is the container up on the clip ons right, that hold sthe fluid?

    Cheers, thanks again

    hey bloke,

    so the mc from the duc just bolted right on correct? no special fitting was required i assume.

    from wot i remember it did i had to use a two line bolt from ducati as the suzuki one had different threads i think, works fine but the levers cost more!

    Thanks Bloke and you other chaps!
    Do you think its worth going for a radial unit?

    Tar

    only if you got the cash but remember they aint like snap on tools the radial man dont replace them when you brake them!
