do you have a wider/cheaper/better selection of compatible levers with that brembo set-up?

The brembo levers fold away in a drop. I'm not sure replacements are cheaper at all.

Which Brembos you go with, and how much of an improvement were they?

Do you have better pics of how you mounted the reservoirs? Looks good.

I used brembo 15ml reservoirs and mounted them using 1.5" angle brackets. I removed the screws that hold the ignition and replaced them with screws 1/4" longer and a spacer from sears hardware.

I had these masters laying around so I used them. I have the same Brake MC on my other bikes and I like them to feel the same.

the brake side is a 19*20 it is firm and powerful but lacks some of the feel of a smaller bore. the clutch master takes no effort at all, it is the billet with the 16mm bore.

Nobody noticed the quick disconnect?

Yeah that's the titanium fmf can, I took off the sticker.

The brake line quick disconnect is a stabuli, I just changed my tires today and it was a big help

The brembo is the forged 19x20 and angled properly it will clear the fairing bracket. I had to rotate the "kill" switch assembly to get the throttle cables out of the way

When you rotated the kill switch assembly, how has it effected the actual position of closed throttle and WOT when out on a ride ?

I cut of the locator pin and it does clamp very tightly. I was a bit nervous.

It does not affect closed throttle and WOT because you are still grabbing the throttle at the same location and rotating it the same number of degrees.
