    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Looks great. (y) I’ll be very interested to hear what you think of the 18x18. Hopefully I’ll get my 19x18 fitted soon and see how it is with my OEM Stylema. Get well soon! So, my upgrade options seem to be: - Titanium pistons on the Stylema as they are plenty good enough. - GP4-MS -...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Did you try it yet? I assumed you meant the 19x18. I’ve bought the 19x18 CNC master to try out of curiosity - if I don’t like it then it will be perfect for a brake upgrade on my SportClassic. I went for Extreme Components clip-ons - they have the cut-out for the locating lug on the OEM upper...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    True. I do remember the days before email when you would pick up a telephone and speak to someone… crazy! :ROFLMAO: We used to send letters to Clients and a couple of weeks or so later get a reply by letter… it’s a different world now. Perhaps I will give it a try but I do think in any...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    I wasn’t planning on changing the clutch master - it’s not like I use it much. I thought the banjo bolt pressure switches weren’t supposed to be all that sensitive from a few things that I read? Then again, my rear brake uses one (CNC Racing rearsets and they come with that type of pressure...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Well I’ll have to give up waiting for Melotti to respond. I sent my initial enquiry two weeks ago. One week ago I got an email saying sorry for the delay and their technical team will get back to me shortly. Despite two reminders I have still not had a response. I can’t wait forever so I think...

    There’s also a billet 19x16. Interesting that the KTM RC 8C uses Stylema with a 19RCS.

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    I run a 2006 SportClassic for road use - plenty of power and I’m an ultra-cautious rider on the road these days. I’ll run the V4R in on the road but I did buy it for track. I was using my SP2 for track last year but only got out for four weekends. I’ve no real interest in using them on the road...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    So if I went that route I would need to commit to making the bike track only. I bought it for the track, so it wouldn’t be the end of the world…

    I assume there’s no brake light activation if I go for the billet one?

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Thanks @Bruce Wayne - lots to think about!

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Better value than the GP version. :ROFLMAO: I guess it should be the same feel as a Corsa Corta set to 18?

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Interesting on the reasons for using 19 or 17. It supports the reasons given by one of the suppliers. I guess you could dial in more feel on the 19 with the Corsa Corta. I’m inclined to follow the recommendation but I don’t want to end up with a hard lever that lacks feel. One of the chaps I...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Interesting to note that another supplier has also recommended the 19 with GP4-MS (allowing for language issues, this one said more power for GP4-MS and if I went for the RR caliper then he’d recommend 17 for more modularity). It’s interesting that I seem to be getting some consistent...

    Upgrading the ‘23 V4R front end

    Good to know and I did get a response from them shortly after I posted here to say that their technical team would be in touch shortly, sorry for the delay, etc. (y)
