Title: Brembo Master Cylinder
Post by: MonsterDark on January 29, 2009, 11:56:58 AM
Sorry guys, not sure to put this in Tech or General.

I found a deal on shorty brembro levers, but they are direct bolt on to the Brembo Master Cylinder, i feel foolish but i dont know if my bike has these or not  ( the brembo masters )  2002 Monster 620ie

thanks,

You do have Brembo masters, but that doesn't really answer the question of whether those levers work for you.  You need to know which Brembo masters they fit.

Yours have the large pivot design.  Brembo GoldLine and radial masters have a small pivot.  They aren't interchangeable.

Sorry, but they won't work.  Those levers are for a radial master cylinder (the plunger pushes toward the back of the bike), not a convential master cylinder like you have (plunger pushes toward the side of the bike).  I've included a picture of each below.

it should also be noted that the goldline masters can be found in large or small dia. pivot sizes.

the one that matches the monster's coffin masters are the large pivot
