If the magic ratio doesn't work, then it's an issue elsewhere - air in the lines still (the lever being closed on a radial with a top bleeder won't work as it would with an axial MC) or the Brembo just isn't a good match for the sliding calipers (in which case, I might buy it off you if you want rid, as I've been eyeing them up). I think the standard MC size is 5/8? It'll be stamped on the cylinder body if you still have it.
Ill have a look tomorrow at all that info and see what i can do, if i want to get rid of the brembo mc if it doesnt do anything then ill bare you in mind that you might want it, ive still got my original sv mc and also got a gsxr750 mc that i put on to see if it made it better but didnt really
