I know there's lots of stuff here but I can't work out what is current and what is not.

I have a leaky one, on an '02 Falco.
I gather you can't get a service kit.
Can I get a millie or tuono master on ebay as a replacement brake master cylinder?
Or is there any Ducati method maybe?

thanks.

Mille one is the same

Iirc there is a Ducati part that is slightly cheaper new

ta very muchly.

I was wondering has anyone replaced the front brake master and lever with one from a blade or a gixxer or similar? I wonder if it would fit OK.
At least one could get a seal kit for it.

Seen an RS250 master that looks exactly like the Falco one.

Anyone?

Go for radial masters - I've a brembo racing brake master and mango has the Aprilia one from (I think) an RSVR.
The one Mango has fits easier.

We've also got the radial clutch master cylinders.

If you're changing, I'd say they are worth considering.

If you go down the radial route, be aware that the take-off point for the brake hose is underneath the master cylinder (and will almost certainly require a new hose) and the depth of the m/cyl is greater; i.e. there is less clearance between lever and fairing/clocks than previously.
