    19mm is right.

    It's the only 'right one'.

    It's the size you need.

    Just get that 19mm one.

    Because it's right for that caliper.

    Not any smaller.

    Not much bigger.

    19mm.

    You asked, so there is your answer.

    This is useless info. The motorcycle is NOT going to the moon. He needs to stick to metric or all the calibrations will be lost. John, you should especially know this since you were a former astronaut, not to mention pro wrestler and porn star. Remember the fate of the Mars climate orbiter when they mixed up acceleration readings between pound-seconds and newton-seconds?

    Oh, wow. So that's how it is? Kick the little man for not immediately swallow when one seasoned racer tells that a multi million € company are wrong about there own products...

    And yes, I know Brembo give out general information on product to fit multiple setup, and the racer here talking about one specific setup-that might actually be the best setup. Why blame me for not immediately bite?


    Got response back and they say both 19 and 17 will work. 17 will be less sharp.
    I'm still afraid to end up with too narrow band on the handle to definitely go for the 19mm... sorry.



    I really hope I have misinterpreted the last 6 posts here and something was missed in translation when I tried to read them...

    I will give the same answer, no matter how many times you ask the same question. Thats not kicking. I'm being nice and sharing my knowledge and experience with you. What other answer do you want?

    Buell put the 19mm master on the ZTL-2 caliper that they designed.
    EBR put the 19mm master on that same caliper.
    Even Brembo says the 19mm will work the best.
    I'll still offer to send you mine so you can see for yourself.

    But do whatever you want. You're the one who asked.

    The RCS 19 Brembo works well with the ZTL2, the addition of a span adjuster allows for a while riding recentering of the pivot pin, goes from 18 to 20 dial in for feel, 18 a bit softer and not abrupt and the 20 setting for hard braking ie: track days. I like the feel a lot and the M/C has performed well on my XB. I had a Brembo look alike mechanical clutch perch made in England to match the Brembo M/c, a bit pricey but I wanted matching perches on my build.

    Sorry if i sounded a bit salty. Just felt that the last posts was a bit on my expense being a novice.

    Do Brembo say two things? Both that 19mm are best for 8x32mm or bigger calipers, but also they work best for under 32mm?


    Anyway. I just ordered the 19 after talking to the store also. And I get a 1:1 change if it turnes out that I do not t like the feel for the 19's.
