Hey guys,
Looked al over the place and couldn’t seem to find a solid positing about installing Brembo RCS19 MC alongside SPiegler Stainless Steel lines.
So here it is.
We’ll start off with procurement.
Brembo RCS19 - I have one of these on the race bike(13 ZX-6R) and am IN LOVE with the way it feels. I tell everyone that it’s like reaching down and grabbing the rotor with your hand without all of the misfortune from actually doing so.
How I arrived at procuring a Brembo RCS19 actually came from a series of of Unfortunate events:
UE(Unfortunate Event) 1: I was at Jefferson circuit on the race bike along the second longest straight(about .25mi) when I went to grab “initial bite” I couldn’t feel the lever. I went to do a re grab and still no lever. The corner was fast approach and just ended up stabbing the rear brake and kept her upright enough to walk away.
Luckily the corner workers found my lever. What seemed to happen is that the pivot bolt somehow fell out. Promptly ordered not one but two. One OEM one from EBay and another Titanium one from motomillion.
UE2: not really unfortunate but just something I stumbled on as the stars aligned. Super bike Unlimited was having a clearance on there super bike parts. I found a Brembo RCS19 used for $160. However, it’s lever adjust was geared for a remote adjuster. Eager to captalize on this occasion, I tossed in a Zeta remote adjuster in the cart which was also on sale.
Here, took a little of “Brembo Lever Tetris”. I didn’t want to have a remote adjuster on the FZ-09(no point), so I had to figure out a way. What I did was took the light weight lever(that had a screw for the remote adjuster and put that on my ZX-6R
All in all it came out nice and I think it added a nice aesthetic touch to it. Though I would recommend safety wiring the remote adjust screw to the cable housing.
