This works extremely well with the 6-pot billet alloy race caliper and Bendix race pads. Its a 16x18mm unit for single disc set-ups, and was supplied with flip up lever. This set up should work really well on the trackdays planned for this year.

Hi Rob, This is exectly the same lever as I bought for the 6 pot Pretech caliper from Steve Kane. It is not yet on my bike because I'm still in the tuningzone...
I toke some pictures of the cilinderhead today, there's still a lot of work to be done, but as soon as the wheels are rolling again I let you know what the results are...

Brembo? On a Bonnie? You MUST share part numbers and sources!! Gotta check it out.

Its a stock Brembo part. Buy the 16x16 or 16x18 ratio master cylinder as these are designed for single disc applications. You may need to replace your stock brake line for a slightly longer one. You WILL need to replace the stock bango (at the master culinder end) with a 10mm x 1mm pitch bango to fit the Brembo. My master cylinder did not have a brake light switch so I bought a 10mm x 1mm bango with integral switch.

You're going to have to change your handle to robBIGbrakes or something

How did the raking feel/power change, any improvement? I have been looking into this type of upgrade, but after adjusting my stock lever, I think I found the braking range I like. Looks great though!

robnobrakes · 02-13-2008

The lever is rock solid, which is just how I like my front brake to feel. 1 finger braking is all that is required in most circumstances on the road, 2 fingers is all that will ever be needed.

The master cylinder and 6-pot capiler is overkill on the road, but this setup should come into its own when I'm out on trackdays, which is why I fitted the master cylinder in the 1st place. The Norman Hyde fork brace should keep the forks from twisting under extreme braking out on the track.

Way cool! Thanks!!

I have just fitted a 19mmx18 Brembo radial master cylinder to my Ducati track bike, meaning I have a 'spare' 16mm brembo 'Goldline' master cylinder. Is the stock (Thruxton) cylinder 14mm or 16mm - if it is 14mm I will change to the Brembo. If already 16mm I will instead go fit the Monza cap that arrived today..
