So I have a 2011 GSR-750 with the standard brake setup (except I'm running braided hoses). Still want to get a bit more bite out of the front brakes, so thinking of replacing with a radial master with a bit more of a leverage ratio. Anyone got recommendations for what brand/model to go for?

Before you dive into that, have you considered a different brand of brake pad?

I have a discacciati radial M/C running braided lines to Tokico 6 pots on my K1, when everything is in good fettle, single finger pulls are like riding in to a brick wall.

Yeah, but standard masters always feel mushy to me, especially cos I only use one or two fingers to brake.

I fitted a Brembo radial item to my 5JJ R1 and that gives me excellent feedback when used with braided hoses.Luckily,I bought it from a friend who ordered a second one by mistake so was a good deal.

My brother has fitted an Accossato to his GSXR1000K5 and found that was similar to a previous bike fitted with a Brembo
