I don't like the looks of the stock clutch and brake reservoirs/levers. I would like to change them out to Brembos, maybe get a performance bump in the process. Any recommendations on what part numbers would apply? What about the pressure switches, how do you retro that?

I've heard the Brembo RCS19 is good for the brake side.

Go RCS19 and get the mechanical switch. They offer a clutch side as well.

It's a nice upgrade for track days, for sure.

I think it's worth getting one of the Ti banjo bolts for the brake line because the nut on those is so small, and easier to place between the throttle cables.

On the street, it's hard to imagine being able to notice much.

Very good, thanks dugger. Now I'm wondering if I could remove the clutch and brake m/c reservoirs from my 999R and put them on the CR. Replace the levers with Pazzos and have the look I'm going for. I took a look at the Brembo RCS19 and the clutch side and they are gorgeous. I'm thinking the 999R would be more of a candidate for them over the CR.

I can also get Beringers for half price, that would make a nice addition to either bike. However, the dollar to Euro is out of whack and they are pricy now, even with the discount.

Oh, I know what your talking about, took me awhile. Your talking about the concept bike made by Magpul, the company. I saw that posted here last week and I took another look at it and if you mean take a look at the handlebars thats what I'm after, complete with the Rizoma reservoirs. I did the Rizoma retrofit on my 916 and they look clean and hi tech.

Hey JDugger,

What size/pitch etc titanium Banjo bolts do I need for the RCS19 connecting to a 1125cr?

Cheers
