I'm looking to replace the front m/c on my Enfield bullet special. The tuono one I have displaces too much volume for a single calliper making the lever action very stiff. I'm also thinkig it would do a great job on the 6-pots on my VFR.
Looking for a bike with a single disc up front (or dinky little brakes) and a master cylinder with a remote reservoir so I can find one at a breakers.
Has to be a remote because there is a fair bit of other stuff to cram onto the handlebars, there isn't really room for a built-in reservoir. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I found an RS125 one after trawling through ebay used master cylinders looking at pictures. It's a bit shonky but it was also cheap. I'm pretty sure those brembo ones take a generic brembo seal kit.
It was cheap enough that I can check if it fits and if it's too far gone, I can get a better one and it was worth the price for the spare lever. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
