off my nc30, iv got cbr900 calipers which are bigger so need an even bigger master as their still a little too much lever travel for me (I like my lever far out and not much movement), the r1 one should be a decent improvement over the stock one if you using stock calipers tho

how will this r1 setup make my lever feel? i too like it firm with not much travel.

Don't want to piss on your parade here Spike.. ;)

@ Dan - I see you are looking for an m/c to match the cbr6/blade/Sp style calipers - this R1 jobby is not what you want.

You need a 5/8 size - approx 16mm - which is what I use (and Honda spec) for the calipers you have.

This is a larger bore adn so will be squidgy with awesome power til it crushes the fingers on the bars....

Sorry Spike..

yeh if you want cbr calipers then this isnt the master 4 u I dont think (wasnt for me anyway) if your keeping the stock calipers then this will do fine

Yes, pretty much. I have the CBR600FX calipers and use a 1999 blade m/c - My brakes are wicked.

@ carl - depends on your ISR bore size - if it ain't broke..don't fix it ;)
