    Bear in mind the thread was started specifically about Hyosung brakes.

    I think decreasing the bore master cylinder bore should be the FIRST option investigated when discussing Hyosung brakes, because it is patently a case of the factory getting it wrong, hence my comment about the radial master cylinder idea.

    lol... went for a ride yesterday, there was a 1098 there... radial mounted brake mcyl and clutch mcyl. I pulled the levers a few times, you know, just so I can say I have Seriously sexy factory hardware on that bike... I'd be lost for things to modify The list of carbon parts the factory sells is long and distinguished though, much like my Johnson

    I agree and that is where I would start as well.
    I would look at sleeve one down if I could not find one at the wrecker's.
    Or change the brake caliper/s (all so from the wreckers)
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.
