anyone know the standard size ? looking to replace with a radial version...
 
I'm not sure about the diameter, but there is a formula to determine what you need:

Might be easier to measure the caliper diameter than the m/c.
Sometimes there is a number stamped on the m/c which would be the cylinder diameter. At least there was on the older Japanese bike I used to own.

Are you not happy with the front brakes on your V7C?
 
Hi, I think it's okay, but at times I'm waiting to stop rather than actually stopping....

There's a post from kitez2 that talks about changing to a radial m'cyl that has improved things.
 
I fine my front break fine, even when I had to panic stop when a car pulled out of a driveway with out looking :eek:

Not had any problems with braking at all, front or rear. How good are your tyres?
 
Have I read this right?
It looks like you've just spent in excess of $1000.00 on changing the front brake system. :huh:

No, I spent $1000 changing the front suspension.
I've only spent $600 on the front brakes.

But I'm confident it'll be worth it.
We'll see next Friday at Infineon.
 
Ah right, you're doing a track day and that would make it a sound investment. I was curious why you felt the front brake wasn't good enough for every day use. Have a good day and keep it rubber side down. :D

The bike needs little. It's really about one's desire to wrench, to tinker, and to improve your possessions. To make it the best, in your own way.

To that end, I'm putting in a big bore kit.
