Wanted - WTB: Brembo master cylinder

[bosco659]

Wanted, Brembo front brake master cylinder # RCS19. Please message me with what you have.

Will pay shipping to Canada. Thx

I would be surprised if anyone on this site just had one of these laying around - that said, I ordered the RCS15 for my Husky 701SM from Carpimoto in Italy and it came out much cheaper than any of the US sellers even after shipping.

Also - what are you using the 19mm master for?

The mc is for my R6 dual disc set up. The mc on there now is a Chinese Brembo 19RCS and it seemed to work ok so I thought I’d replace it with the real deal. I believe the R6 used a 16mm mc but I didn’t want to take a chance on a smaller mc because of the large cost for these devices. I suppose I could go with a 17mm. Any thoughts? Thx

Change your title to WANTED. Might get more people looking.

Checked out Caprimoto. Price is close to what I would pay here in Canada and still could be hit with duty and customs fees. Will investigate further tho, since they have lots of cool stuff. Thx for the heads up.

I'd be surprised if the R6 4-pots you have need that large of an MC to modulate well. I've mostly seen the 19mm used on dual 6-pot fronts, and I bet a true 19mm would probably feel somewhat wooden and stiff - probably overpowered and not well-modulated. That said, I'd also be surprised if the counterfeit Brembo MC is truly 19mm as advertised. R6 stock MC is 16mm.

A less $$$ option might be a Nissin radial MC from a GSXR or similar. Would push plenty of fluid and have the same aftermarket support as the Brembo.

Ok thx. I’ll check that out.
