    Only thing I can say is:

    B-King masters are radials, Gen2 Busa's aren't,
    but they look Fugly and dont suit clip-on's.

    Im looking at similar stuff.

    I'd expect someone on here to recommend either aftermarket Brembo
    or a radial off a ate model GSXR but I wouldnt have a clue on models.

    The whole setup on the ZX14 does a good job, radial nissins I think they're all the same model suzuki kawasaki...
    You need to get the matching clutch master to go with it though

    How do you like the lever to feel?

    19x20 ratio gives minimal movement on the lever and the least amount of effort to give full pressure.

    19x18 ratio gives more lever movement and a greater amount of effort required for full pressure but on the positive side you get more feel.

    The Brembo RCS master gives you the best of both worlds as it allows you to change the ratio between the two and is a quality bit of kit if you can afford one.

    on my SV i had gixxer radial brakes (and front end) and the standard MC, and it pulled up quite well. On the RSV i have the Brembo radial brakes and the standard (non radial) MC and it pulls up extremely well...

    What i'm saying is that you don't NEED a radial master cylinder just because you have radial brakes... in case that's what you were thinking.

    Spot on.

    As I posted in this and a previous thread,
    Busa and B-King use the exact same calipers.
    One has a Radial master, one doesnt.

    You don't need a radial master.
    I love the setup on the zx, great power and feel.
    Of course I'm coming from a zrx1200, and there are plenty of people that are happy with the zrx or busa setup after swapping out the calipers and or rebuilding the master.

    you buy the radial master an lever then you need to buy your fluid re-septic-al,then the switches ,lol the list is endless ,but no matter how many emails you send these guys they wont sell to you until, bc even though youve told them exactly what you want ,some redneck ,sends an email back ,which goes i need more info.lol
