Sam,
It will take more lever force to get the same pressure with a larger
diameter MC but it will move more fluid volume. The R-1's need the higher
pressure because there pistons are considerably smaller than stock. With
the stock pistons the area that the hydraulic pressure is applied is larger
so not as much pressure is needed to do the job. I am finding it much
harder to get the bike stopped, much more lever pressure. Two fingers use
to be easy, now I find myself wanting to use my whole hand. Like two
fingers much more. If a whole setup MC and calipers can be adapted I think
it will work much better.
How much actual braking ability did you gain by switching to HH pads? I do
not want to put more money into these calipers unless I will be able to
match the stock braking. With the info you have supplied I will probably
not be able to match the stock lever pull.

> According to the XJR workshop manual the master cylinder is 14mm in
diameter,

> The V-Max lists the master as having a 15.87mm bore and caliper diameters
of

> So tell me brake experts, what is the net effect hydraulically of using
the R1
