I have wrestled with the decision to use a 5/8 master cylinder and the stock TLS 4 pots on the SV with the TLS front. Well the other day I picked up a set of stock TLR 6 pots and bolted them on. WOW! Amazing brakes on an SV! The thing will easily do one finger stoppies and if you are too aggressive you will definitely neuter yourself on the tank! I highly recommend sticking with the matching m/c and caliper combo. I think had I run a 14 mm m/c the 4 pots would have been much nicer. Both had SS galfer lines and EBC HH sintered pads. The 4 pots felt wooden and were very high effort, but stopped well. The six pots have a bit of a squishy lever feel (like a Brembo 19X18 does) and hit like a brick wall. Not bad for $75.00 USD.
Next up I got a used RS-3 full system, so we will be rejetting and such.
