ASB rear brembo brake kit

[jakestolar]

Has any one used this? I have heard of some people losing some braking power with the brembo kit. Can anyone give me some feedback on this one?

The people that lost power must have failed at bleeding them. When done with a brembo master cylinder upgrade, it's a 200% improvement.

I did the mod with the ASB kit...took a while to bleed them, but stopping power is just fine. Don't know if I would say it's improved...I could lock the rear before the mod and can just as easy after.

I defiantly dont desire any more braking power! I just want the sweet look with out the risk of losing anything safety wise

I did the mod but pieced it together (not the ASB kit) and it works fine. I also helped a forum member install his ASB kit. They both work much better than stock. Do yourself a favor and buy the speed bleeder- it makes bleeding a snap.

That's the same reason I did it...aesthetics. No loss in braking power, but bleeding them did take a very, very long time.

Sweet looks like I shall add it to my order then!

Anyone have a link to the brembo master cylinder? I have replace mine anyways

i didnt change the master when i changed my rear caliper. it works just fine with a stock setup. i think the piston diameter is close to the same as the buell caliper. in my opinion you will mess more things up trying to rig up a different master cylinder to the existing mounts.

Ohh I thought it was plug and play. Thanks for the feedback fellas
