I've got full floaters on my s2r 800 dark that the PO had installed.  I have a broken brake lever that I need replaced and I don't know what part I need since its not stock.  At least I don't think its stock.  Can you guys let me know what I've got?  BTW, my brakes work great.

Looks like a radial master from 749/999.

Older SBK have the round separate reservoirs.

That does indeed look like a 749/999 radial master.

BTW, I think those rotors are a bit rare and worth some money.

+1 on the 749/999 radial MC

those calipers are the fancy ones as well...


I am SO jealous right now  :-\

What's special about those calipers?  To me they look like normal 40mm mount 2-pad 4 piston calipers. 

And +1 one more for the 749/999 radial masters.   

But yeah, none of that break set up is stock
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

The calipers are the old single pin variety.

sounds like I scored on the brakes, only thing is they are a little twitchy.  If I lay on them to hard too fast, the front end locks up fairly easily.

Those are 'finesse' brakes  ;)

Without knowing what sort of pads are in there, I'm just guessing here - but a less aggressive pad might be more to your liking.  The former owner might have something like sintered pads that have a lot of initial bite

I have the same cast iron rotors on my bike and I am runnnig Ferodo Platinum organic pads as opposed to the sintered pads. I get more feel and the organic pad will help the rotor last longer. My .02 cents. :)

I ran Ferodo Platinums on my iron discs with basically the same calipers.

Moderate initial bite, but plenty of power.

Have another  [thumbsup]  The 65mm to 40mm adapters should have made you look twice.. but if you had the T-googles on then you might have just seen 4 calipers.
