Like the title says, really - I need a Falco (Brembo) front brake master cylinder, lever and reservoir. I'll also need the brake light microswitch assembly. Doesn't have to be mint, but don't really want a tatty one. It's actually for my old VFR - trying to upgrade the brake system as much as is reasonably possible.

I tried fitting a radial master cylinder, and that failed miserably (lever clouted the clocks) so it's back to a non-radial type - and the Falco master cylinder is as good as that type gets, I reckon.

What is the correct term for a non-radial master cylinder? Is there one?

Hi Dave - if you can find the lever that's great, if not I think I might have a spare knocking about somewhere (but then again I could be imagining it...)

I did some work in the shed yesterday (to the VFR, not the Falco) and it was COLD. But at least I had my quilted work overalls on, purchased for just such an occasion from Lidl or Aldi when they were on offer. Can thoroughly recommend them - made the whole experience bearable, if not particularly pleasant.
