Brembo RCS

[YSRRider]

are the RCS levers any good? I already have a forged 16x18 on order but my guy just hit me up and he can get 16x18 RCS masters for $290. If there is no difference I wont feel bad but they are $360 masters retail.

Not sure about it for a hand brake, but Ive been running Brembo 19x20 for front brake for like 10 years now. And I recently tried the RCS 19 that is supposed to be able to switch from 19x20 to 19x18....However to me it felt nothing like my standard 19x20....Did not like it

And the stupid adapter for the lever is darn expensive if you break it...The lever is cheap but the bracket that holds it is like $150 if you break it

The 16RCS switches between 16x16 and 16x18. I have the 19RCS on my Buell. I can feel the difference in the 19RCS when I switch it for my front brake. I have tried a 16RCS for the clutch and really could barely feel the difference.

i ran the 19rcs on the front. works like both of them IMO. never broke one though. that could suck.

I agree, but what does that have to do with anything?

My 2011 bike has as 16x18 RSC for the handbrake. I'll be riding it next week so I'll be able to post up what I think about it. I will probably be buying a regular 16x18 for the front brake though. I ran one last year and I loved it untill it blew out it's seals. The RSC is more for the bling factor than anything I'd say.
