Brembo Master cylinder

[diesel pig]

Most twin setups, well Japanese callipers, use 5/8 which is 15 and a bit. Newer setups use 14mm.
19? Radials are often 19 but they use different leverage due to positioning. Won't be legal for classic.
I suspect you are not reading the correct bore size. Usually underneath near banjo threads.

For F--K Sake, Do you ever not have something good to share. When I was looking at the M/C last night with a torch. I could not make out if it said 5/8 or 6/8. So I went with the bigger number to be safe. I will have to have another look.
The M/C is Not a Radial one. I suspect you may be right about the size. Damn it!

6/8 would be noted as 3/4 so it's 5/8th

F--k it! That is what my digital verniers keep telling me when I tried to used them to tell me what 6/8 was and it keep showing 3/4. So I google it. I hate Factions of inches. Metric system the only good thing to come out of France.

That's a goddam lie.
There's also Michelin tyres.

Some people like the wine, but I'll pass on red mostly.

Thinking about this at the gym this morning. Going with Big bore M/C with a pair of 08's meaning fast acting and short lever travel would suit my mutant dimensions of small hands and short fingers. Since I am building this race bike for my cousin who is a lot taller than me so might have bigger hands than me as well. A smaller Bore M/C with more travel may suit him better. I should see him at the end of the month and check it out then.

Small hands would need to be strong fingers. Go for smallest master for most power. Classic brakes are never much to write home about but tyres have got better.

I stand by what I said. I am a Dunlop man, Bridgestone if I cannot get them. But Michelin? I tried them once but ever again. Did not like how they worked on the edge of grip.

Pretty sure Black Betty used a 15mm

I'm out of date. Butt fuck. Dunlop slicks were like a super power. On kart tracks you could take such liberties that a 50 could pass 150s in corners and if you got ahead of them you'd be OK.

But Michelin road tyres are generally pretty good.

I've gone off Dunlop road tyres.
Except Trailmax Raids that are on my Adventure bike.

I'm enjoying this thread. I'd like to come down that way sometime. Maybe for dirtbike ride ot a Syd ride if they still do them. Read about it while lying in hospital not knowing what the future held. Must get the T125 going.

Once I start working again* I should be able to afford to start working on my T350. (just so no one freaks out. I won't made it faster just nicer to ride especially around corners. I think the Yanks call it rest-o-mod-ing basically think of a T350 from the early 70's but owned by a enthusiast.) a ride with fellow nutter would be cool.

* Yeah it's been a Long Long haul.

Bloody Hell, I should just consult you in the future on Betty you memory is better than mine.

I must admit I was really talking about my experience on slicks but I base my road tyre choice on what tyre brands were like in races.

I will do the 5/8" M/C on the pair of Brembo 08's this Saturday and see what they feel like. I now realise my ignorance of betty's brake set up was total.

You're not kidding. . Years not so far back for me.n
