Hi everyone,
Having done my first track day and subsequently running out of brakes, I quickly researched, bought and installed new pads (EBC HH).
Thinking that is all I could do to improve the brakes (I haven't looked into brakes before), by chance I met a lad who has a Scrambler Cafe Racer.
I was surprised to the amount of differences between his bike and my Icon as I presumed the Cafe Racer was just more about cosmetic change.
How wrong was I! Different forks, 17" front wheel and the other big surprise was that it has a Brembo Radial master cylinder!
I've looked into the parts numbers and cost, wow, Ducati want a lot for that particular set up!
Having researched brakes, I worked out that I would require a 15mm radial master cylinder. However, when I go through the bike configurator on the Brembo website it suggests a 16mm master cylinder.
Does anyone know the size of the master cylinder the Cafe Racer uses?
I know one person on here has upgraded to a radial master cylinder but would like other peoples views etc on it all?
Many thanks.
