Oh, no... Explain. I'm guessing the Yoyodyne is a clutch and the Brembo must be brakes. I found a guy out in Cali who makes some nice carbon fiber accessories. I just got a nice hugger from him and now I'm waiting for some screws to put it on.

Michael- You have some serious winter gear brother!

It's a billet Brembo radial master cylinder and the plunger/post thingy bent when I crashed a Sears Point a while back. Had to get a rebuild kit and lever from Yoyodyne and they sent the wrong parts, plus the one that was correct was missing a tiny little threadded barrel that helps to hold the lever on. Strangest lever/master cylinder relationship I've ever seen. You'd think for a big buck fancy pants part the design would be a bit cleaner.

Who's the guy in Cali? Maybe I've heard of him.
