Title: Radial master cylinder switches
Post by: caperix on February 23, 2014, 01:47:01 PM
I have a question to those of you who have installed radial master cylinders onto your monster that were not equipped with them from the factory.  Are all radial master cylinder brake & clutch switches the same or do I need to look for ones from a monster with radial master, S4r ect. to be compadable with the coffin brake wiring on my bike.

My S2R800 (coffin masters) now has a StreetFighter S radial brake master.
The brake light switch on it was a direct plug & play.

Thanks for the info, it looks like 749, 999, street fighter, 848 & 1098 all use the same brake &
clutch switch with the 2 bullet connectors to connect.  Hypermotard & diavel look to use a plastic connector.  So now I have an idea of what to look for, thanks. 
Did you have to have custom lines made or was there enough slack to get the line to connect to the bottom of the radial master cylinder?  I am running woodcraft clipons so I am hoping I will be able to get the factory lines to work.

Stage 1
Larger coffin master and golden 4piston '996' calipers. Needed new lines because of the calipers.
My factory line(s) had an almost 90 degree banjo fitting and it was changed to a straight fitting because it wouldn't work any other way with my clip ons and fairing.

Stage 2
New radial master with the banjo bolted on underneath.
The straight fitting was perfect, but had to be routed forward because of my clip ons. The lines wouldn't fit behind/between the headlight and fairing, so they are where they are (see picture)

The factory fitting can't be rotated (?) so your 90 degree banjo might not work... At the very least it will point downwards and make it difficult to attach to the lower triple.

It looks like you are running the woodcraft 3" rise clipons below the tripple as well.  I have master cylinder spacers on my coffins now to clear.  Do you think using those with the radial master cylinders would give enough clearance to run the line to the side?

Mine are the discontinued Swatt's - quite similar to Woodcraft.

The spacer won't help enough, even with my straight banjo - it has to point straight forward.
