Member Contributer redmarque Posted May 3, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 3, 2009 This might help: LINKY Cheers Seb, You're right, what a can of worms! :laugh: Best I can work out is find a model with a radial master setup that uses caliper pistons as near the same size as the yamaha blue spot ones. 2005 onward R6 or R1 have radial calipers with the screw in cylinder covers (although the colour changes) I'll do some digging on R6/1 forums maybe that someone with an early R1 or YZF has made the swap to radial master. i'd like to get a pazzo lever to match too. I wish other forums where as good at organising their posts and information as VFRD! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WERA910 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I used an '05 R6 radial master cylinder with the blue pots on my '97 thunderace YZF1000... it worked phenomenally well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
