What's a good place to get Brembo bits? - SV650.org

I just picked up a Brembo radial m/c off a Visordown guy... It's in good nick but has a little crash damage (that's why I could afford it!), the lever and span adjuster are marked. Just wondered if anyone knows of a good, cheapish place to pick up replacements?

Or Ducati... Luckily my local Suzuki dealer is also a Duke and KTM dealer

Just wondered if there's anywhere a bit less fairly priced. Someone who runs a bike parts dealership as a tax-loss or charity, perhaps... IWith my track record it really worries me to not have a spare lever

Sir might want to check out PDQ for his Brembo bits

Cheers

Hey, it was cheap for what it is... I could spend £20-£30 or so for a good condition CBR r GSXR 1000 m/c, or £50 for this. The lever'll cost but that's still silly money for this sort of kit... Thanks Fatblokeonabandit!

Anyway, what do you mean I'm addicted now ? I think the signs have been there for a while

To answer my own question, the best prices I can find are from Yoyodyne in the states- even with postage taken into account ht elame duck dollar makes it far cheaper to go there than I think i can find over here. Plus they carry all the spares, which is nice.

are brembo m/c a direct swap for the standard sv ones?

Not sure... It's not fitting so well with the GSXR bits but then the yokes are wider and the bars are different too. The lever mount is further forward and in than stock, so the span adjuster is catching on the fairing at full left lock. Not enough to be a problem but it's annoying and I've had to put it at a pretty ropey angle too. Should be sorted when I get my fireblade clipons though.

It uses a course pitch banjo instead of a fine, but the brake light switches interchange perfectly with the SV one, at least with this master cylinder... Though it's the older design of radial, not the newer 19x20 one.

Not ridden it yet, I got sick of bleeding the brakes

They work, but they don't work right yet.
