Radial caliper and Master Cylinder Installed
Hi guys, this is a mod I was most looking forward to doing and I've finally done it. I had ordered a KTC radial caliper and mounting bracket from Indonesia, and a radial master cylinder from Thailand. Left her at the shop day before yesterday and rode her back today. Night and day difference between my old setup, which wasn't working well to begin with. Since the pads are brand new, I'm sure it will only get better as they get scrubbed in. My only complaint is that the lever has too much free play before engaging, but for about 60$ shipped, I really can't complain. That said, I will definitely upgrade to a higher quality master eventually (brembo/accassato/Magura).
Also, I checked out the 390 Duke caliper, because I was interested if that would be a replacement for my KTC unit, but alas it isn't. the KTC unit has a 100mm eye to eye spacing, but the Bybre unit of the KTM is even less than 100. Pics... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Racing...vip=true&rt=nc

Can you turn your bars full left and right without hitting the dash? With that master cylinder?
