just wondering whether anyone's fitted bluespots to an import or whether i may as well hang on to the Brembo's.Is there alot of difference between the Bluey's and Bembo's feel wise and is the mod as easy to do on an import as pinball says it is on a regular TRX

Make it a full brembo setup... Put a radial pump on there and you'll smile like you've never smiled before.

I did it; It's easy and a massive improvement over the standard Brembos... plus it's less than half the price of fitting a new master cylinder.....
.... saying that; you do lose a bit of feel. I've settled for an R1/R6 master cylinder plus Bluespots..... Which is still cheaper than fitting a Brembo MS....

Roll your eyes all you want... You wouldn't agree with me unless you rode it. Then you'd be looking for your old stock brembos and a new pump.

Have you ever ridden a bike with a brembo radial pump? A real one that is, not those semi radial OEM jobs they're mounting on the new R1s.
It's a whole new world...
You'll never go back.

Yes I have actually. You're right - They're great!.... but that doesn't change the fact that R1 calipers are better than standard Brembos. For performance-per-pound Blue spots are the way to go....
(If) you want my advice; get some blue spots first and if you're still not happy then save up for a radial pumper!
