Ultimate Control: Installing a Brembo Radial Brake Master Cylinder on a GS1200SS.
Vehicle: Suzuki GS1200SS. Topic: Upgrading the front brake system for superior feel and control. Details: After upgrading the tires and wheels, the next logical step to improve the handling of this heavy machine is the brakes. We replaced the stock axial master cylinder with a top-of-the-line Brembo Radial Brake Master Cylinder. Because a radial master pushes the piston in the same direction you pull the lever, it provides an incredibly direct and linear feel. I carefully rerouted the brake lines, checked for fairing clearance, and meticulously bled the system. Verdict: The braking feel is completely transformed. Instead of just grabbing, you can now finesse the brakes with a single finger, allowing for much smoother and more confident corner entries!
