Yep I agree. For the last track day I punted the Brembo master Cylinder and went back to the stock M/C with the Nissin calipers and the brakes feel so much better.

bleeding them every track day only gets you good feel for the first session them after thaqt they are farked again. I gave up on bleeding them all the time and now just farking ride it as it is.

id stick to what you know works, the brembo is a better master cylinder, so i wouldnt be changing that, id be going back to the standard calipers.

i use a brembo master with stock callipers and the lever was/is fantastic at a trackday it never fades and has excelent feel all day, i have ridden other bikes with the mods you guys have done and they just dont compare to the brembo master. I have since upgraded to brembo calipers and will NEVER go back to a stock set up again. i have the best brakes i have ever felt on a bike.

so you've tried the nissin calipers with stock M/c???

the brembo shod ducati i rode has shit brakes in comparison.

ZX6r03 seems to have the same opinion of his own brembo equipped ducati.

mind you they arent the same spec as the brembo's you bought. :lol:

i rode a mates zx10r with the set up you run and the brakes were very snatchy, he likes them, but its not what i like. I like having a good lever, not o e with no travel and feel. The brembo master fixed my brake issues anyway, i just wanted the calipers as well.
