Just now read through the thread. Thanks to the contributors. Have to decide whether to save up for a Brembo or pennytech an R6.
.Buy the RCS15 if you're inclined to buy an aftermarket MC.
Brembo said:The brand new 14 RCS master cylinder from Brembo allows riders to choose between heavy or gradual braking depending on road conditions and weather, personal taste and the overall feeling of the motorcycle. The 14 RCS, with a 14 mm diameter floating piston can be used on most single disc braking systems with 2-pistons fixed or floating calipers. The RCS system (Ratio Click System) is the pioneering adjustment that enables the rider to achieve his ideal riding style. With the new 14 RCS pump it is like to have two master cylinders in one product. The 14x18 mm enables more gradual braking and requires a longer lever stroke while the 14x20 mm generates a more classic road riding feeling.
However, the configuration can be changed in a matter of seconds by setting the ratio distance between values of “18” or “20” by simply turning the regulator on the front face of the steering arm 180 degrees with a screwdriver. The cam system (red marking when set to 18 mm, black marking when set to 20 mm) adjusts the distance between the pivot point and mounting point on the lever pushrod by 2 millimeters. This redistributes the braking force without altering performance.
In common with all RCS master cylinders, the 14 RCS also features a microswitch kit for the brake light actuation and a special connection fitting for the hydraulic hose.
This new master cylinder can be used on the most popular scooter with single 2-piston fixed caliper, or floating, with single disc, ensuring top performance for this category.
I have the RCS15 on my 390, and it's got great feel and feedback.
I am yet to install it, so will update once I do.May I ask is your brakes lever on Brembo hit the windscreen when you fully turn to the left?
.How can I find out what bore is my OE brembo master cylinder? Thanks in advance guys
.
The RC390 has a Brake Mastercylinder bore of 12mm
The clutch is cable, so obviously no MC.

.Hi, thanks for your reply, I actually have the OE brake and clutch master cylinders from a Ducati MTS 1100 which I'm planning on installing. I should have been more specific. Going the hydraulic way for the clutch with a conversion kit.
Scarecrow, so you are going from radial to axial?
Psycho, how are you planning to mount the calipers?
