Though to be honest, the 10R m/c is a pretty low-quality piece, which is why the Brembo is necessary anyway. Believe it or not, Kawi put a better m/c on the 6R's than the 10R's the past few generations. Can't speak for the new '08 10R m/c, but it's supposed to be improved.
Actually I DO believe it! That's one reason why I got the 6r master cylinder. A really common upgrade on the '06+ 10R's is to put 6R or 14R calipers on (They use the SAME Nissin caliper!). I don't know why, but Kawi dropped the ball on the brakes on the later 10R's!
