Norm, I very much appreciate your postings of your work.  Excellent information on the mechanical advantage we all seek, and the status of investigation to date.

The only challenge I find of concern for the Ninja 250 system, is the exposed plastic master cylinder.  Seems exposed to the branches or the lay down rock, and so my question:  Is there a smaller piston diameter, bolt on master cylinder, that works in length of lever for pull within existing Moose brush guards, and has a similar master cylinder container as the original?

I've seen comments on the X to X year CBR600, and 600rr, 1000rr. Concours,  etc, but the conversations seemed to be delineating toward an upgraded dual piston caliper, or a general conversational sense of modification without math, which leaves me to wonder about the piston diameter in these offerings.  I've tried the 320mm wave rotor, and while feeling modulation did improve, I was disappointed with how quickly it warped, and with the fit of the adaptor (EBC) when initially installed.  I also recall a long period of adaptation to the sense of a larger mass effecting centrifugal inertia of the front wheel.  Adapted, got used to it, but for this new Gen I, I'll improve the brakes any way I can, but will prefer to do it around the existing rotor, the existing caliper, with minimal modification to the forks.

My new ride is a stock farkled 2007, still on initial engine break in, awaiting Galfer greens but otherwise prepped.  S/S brake lines.  The search now, is for a better lever for the front end.

Thanks,

Todd
