Wanted 19 RCS Brembo Master Cylinder

[Tinman]

Does anyone know where I can get 19 RCS Brembo Master Cylinder and if they have them in stock.
Been trying the states for them as the exchange rate is good. But it seems that they don't have the shipment yet or they do but get sold out .
Don't want to buy local as they are very expensive here, around the $600 . In the states they are about US $370 works bout a saving of $200

Cheers

The brakes on the 08 seems to be fine on the raod but I haven't taken it to the track to know.

I'm trying to get one for the 2005 10 cause I'm thinkig of racing mate

The new 19 RCS Brembo master cylinder looks sweeet and you can change it 18-20 to a 19-20 with a switch apparentely

Had a email from a store from the states and there's a back order world wide of 3000 units

both the 05/05 and the 06/07 have shit brakes at the track.

on the road thay are fine, but 2-3 laps of the track and they fade away pretty bad.

there are numerous ways to fix apparently.

- brembo master cylinder
-pull apart standard calipers and grease the seals with high temp grease.
-put nissin ZX14 calipers on it ( which i have done and is bloody awesome)

cheers

Or just buy a 2008 R1. Brakes are awesome!

I believe that the 04-05 brakes is a tad better than the 06-07 reason being on the 06-07 there's to much free play before you are actaully on the brakes which I didn't like. It made blipping the throttle harder on down shift while on the brakes

Thanks for the info guys...... I've order some braide lines, will the ZX14 Cal fit straight on???? and where do i get a pair?? I do plan to do some track days, but mainly road riding....

Yes the ZX14 Calipers fit straight on maybe the best place to find them is Ebay or around some wreckers

Can you tell what the difference is between each caliper??? also would you sill buy a Brembo m/c??

[ZX-10R_04]

yeah you can sure tell the difference between each caliper plus in the end i doubt you will need the brembo M/C but it might improve braking slightly more also

BTW, the 07-08 ZX6R calipers are the same as the ZX14 ones
