Re: std trx levers and R6 masters
Just a word of warning.
I found myself standing at the end of the start/finish straight on a trackday, with a locked front-wheel. Turns out that the 3rd party lever i bought in the pit, had slightly different dimensions. The lever wasn't allowing the piston to move back fully, so the pressure built up after a couple brakings.
I have a 14 mm M/C, and i bought a lever for an R6. Other guys had bought the same lever to r6s and had no issues. Problem was solved by taking some material off the lever, where it "connects" with the piston.
so, just because it seems to fit properly, doesn't mean it's working 100%. It doesn't have to happen, but just double-check it works as it's supposed to...

Re: std trx levers and R6 masters
as luck would have it, the TRX lever and the 03-04 R6 lever have the same profile so there is not any extra preload of the piston.
LSL list the same lever to fit both, so thats a win eh!
thanx hansj
cheers
