Brembo Radial Master Cylinders Upgrade.

I bought used Brake and Clutch radial masters from to members of DucatiMS- They came with a couple of Brembo plastic reservoirs. I installed the clutch side as I received it, but I think I'll upgrade the bracket. The clutch side is supported by a homemade stainless wire and what looks like a Titanium bolt.

I stole the hardware off of my ST2 to mount the brake reservoir. I used a 45cc OEM size. I have some clear hose and Titanium banjo bolts ordered to finish the job. This is a Medium (30cc) reservoir mounted with some stainless rod (I bought it used). I have a small 15cc resi ordered and I think I make a stronger bracket. I bent the bracket so that it just clears the top of the dash unit. I used the Woodcraft clip on handlebar bolt with a spacer under it.

Rotor differences

The rotor on the left is the OEM from my 2003 999R- the one on the right is from a 749 (I think an 06- I bought it used)- notice the difference in the outside of the edge- the R is relieved. BTW- they both weigh the same.

Cam timing- Powerpoint presentation

Here's a Power Point that I did on cam timing. The pictures load slow and it's kind of difficult to follow, but you get the idea.

I had lost this for awhile (got stuck in Cyberspace, I guess)--but it's back and I'm glad because many people have been looking for this kind of info.

I'll get it on my Knols too.
