Better front brake

16% does not seem much - how much does BREMBO cost?
Have you tried the Yamaha sintered pads that fit the OEM caliper? that gives a tangible increase in breaking power already and is cheaper than the OEM pads from RE.

I found one source for 470 euro plus VAT and duty so like 600 euro. that seems a bit stiff for a 16% increase.

maggiore potenza frenante data dal diametro maggiore dei pistoni. la superficie è maggiore del 16%

ONLY ENGLISH PLEASE

greater braking power given by the larger diameter of the pistons. the surface is 16% larger
I would like to get my hands on that brembo calliper, can you advise?
 
Did you ever try the Yamaha pads I sent you? what % improvement do you estimate they provide?
 
They are definitely an improvement but the math on the larger pistons is undeniably superior.
Together the combination would be worthwhile, having said that I do not know the cost of the calliper!

I'm sorry, I was writing from my smartphone
 
I paid 40 euros for the caliper. taken on ebay it was a 2009 gilera gp 800
15 years young and still working. not bad. Are there any other numbers or identifiers on that part that would make finding it online easier?
 
I found this doc...

I had a right caliper so I thought why not?!
