Very good. Will be looking forward to your riding impressions. ?Looking good! Happy to hear you succeeded to sort out the issue with the front brakes. On a small side note, I changed out the Nissin Radial MC I had on my bike for a Brembo RC19, and "Wow" the brake feels good, still run the same Nissin 4 piston calipers.. That said, I have not been able to take my bike out for a ride, only ridden it inside the parking garage, so final verdict still remains..

The main issue I had was them getting soft after being used a few times, with some harder braking thrown in, and that was following being bled properly etc.Couple issues with the front brakes. As Scott mentioned, I switched out to a known good m/c. It was night and day. The different master is a zx10 brembo. Bled great and was an immediate improvement.
the zx14 nissin was off a 2011 that was pillaged for a cart. It was practically new. So something is wrong with it.
The other issue as Steve had suggested, the calipers are extremely hard to bleed. I made sure I took note of the internal porting and held the calipers at the angle that would have the ports at 12 o’clock. Lots of bleeding. Ridiculous really. Then I attached a 3” clear hose to the bleeder and cracked the bleeder. Compressing the brake lever enough to bring fluid into the hose I tied off the lever. Left the calipers overnight with the short hose and bleeders cracked open. One last pull of the lever, closed the bleeders. And the brake lever feels really good.
These calipers are like new. Plus I like the gold with the blue. So I hope I can get some use out of them. But if they give me any issues then I’m done with them. Got my eye out for some gold nissins!!!The main issue I had was them getting soft after being used a few times, with some harder braking thrown in, and that was following being bled properly etc.
Mind you, I was using the stock 06 master cylinder.
But my brother used the stock 06 master cylinder with his NISSINs with no issues.
I hope the Brembo master makes the difference and works out ok!
I wish the muzzy damper mount kit was still available. Really well done. No drilling too.Nice work. I do really like the blue now that I look at it. Spring is so close......I do need a steering damper on mine too. Had a couple issues with last couple, before adding one.
Me too. I had that and the Scott's. I like the Muzzy much better.I wish the muzzy damper mount kit was still available. Really well done. No drilling too.

Would be good to get them replicatedMe too. I had that and the Scott's. I like the Muzzy much better.
As Mefirst said, push in style. It’s a snug fit so won’t pop out.cmg, what size/brand is that filter for the crank venting? I've currently got the CC mod but looking to getting block off plates and want a reliable filter for the crank vent.
If I had one I would see what it would cost.Would be good to get them replicated
