Brembo Front Brake Upgrade On 2018 Street Twin

I recently replaced the stock front brake on my 2018 Street Twin with a Free Spirits kit from Canyon Cycles in California. The stock disc is 310mm and the made-in-Italy replacement 340mm. The new caliper is a four piston Brembo, replacing the stock Nissin two piston setup. Went with the Titanium finish to compliment the aesthetics of my jet black bike with mostly black accessories. Used the stock brake lines and replaced the plastic reservoir with the machined aluminum one from Triumph.

After a week or so the difference in performance was not radical in my normal daily city driving. A subtle improvement perhaps, but my philosophy is "better is better." No regrets, and I look forward to further evaluation in some aggressive canyon riding in the near future. ( I live in Flagstaff, Arizona and winter weather and road conditions dictate where and when I can ride for now.) I will post again under this thread when I have more data.

 

Not stainless. I wanted to evaluate kit with original lines first before taking that step.

Likewise didn't want to put more abrasive pads in unless necessary, to reduce rotor wear.

(I was a DoD analyst, so I like to change one variable at a time. Mea Culpa.)

 

I am out of town until Monday (in a rental car) and will do my best to conquer technology and post a picture of my new front brake, etc. So I guess it didn't happen yet.

 

There's your picture. Stick a fork in me. (I'm done.)
