brake upgrade question

[leef82]

hello all, ive decided to go down the cbr600rr brake caliper mod and i know its best to upgrade the master cylinder aswell but i find that the cbr m\c with the boxxy shape resivour rather ugly compared to the standard nc30 m\c , is there any other options of m\c that look simular to the nc30 and fit easy anougth ? also if i had different m\c to the calipers would i have problems ordering braided hoses?

thanks lee

you are looking at the wrong m/c then amte - I havea fireblade one from an RRX - you can use that, an SP1 etc.

Any 5/8th sized should be bob on...

hoses - no worries - the std NC30 ones won't work as too short and wrong banjo angles

Hey Lee,
You just need an mc with the same ratio as the 600rr M/C.

Then you just need to know how the banjo fits in and what banjo bolt you'll need.
Line length. Get some cut and doohickeyed by a lines company.

And away you go.

Edit:beaten to the punch

thanks for the replies, so i wouldnt be able to just order a set of cbr600 lines then ? a bit more too it

[CMSMJ1]

you can order cbr600 lines.

I used fireblade lines..from wezmoto

You want to order "race type" lines, that way you get 2 lines, 1 to each caliper & then to the m/c rather than that joined up type.
You can order fireblade, cbr600rr or SP1/2 lines & they'll all be preetty much the same, as they all use the same caliper type.
I run SP1 calipers, SP1 lines & a blade m/c on my No1 nc30 but as CMSMJ1 says, ANY 5/8th's or 16mm+ m/c will work.
My No3 nc30 runs blade calipers & lines & a aprilia RSV 16mm brembo m/c, which is also very good.

You have many, many options & you can also run brembo goldline calipers, instead of nissins.
You just have to choose what you prefer & get the right adaptor brackets from Mr Rick O.

Thanks, ill proberly get all the bits ordered soon so it'll feel like one step forward even though I've took about 3 steps back with my recent engine disaster, might cheer me up

The RR uses an 11/16" master cylinder. 5/8" is far more common and will probably do the trick. 14mm as used on an RVF won't do it.

Can you stretch to radial masters?

Can you stretch to radial masters?

dont know yet, some one did mention at work that i should fit one, but what would be the benfit?
i think i may of seen on another thread someone using a rsv mille brembo m\c with cbr600rr calipers.

I have 2002 firestorm calipers on (I believe they are the same as yours). I'm using the standard 14mm vfr M/C and it's awesome, tried fitting a 17mm one from an SP2 and just didn't get the same compression and feeling at the lever. Odd as I've always believed that your should change the M/C to suit..
