sorry to revive an old thread, but I didn't want to have to explain too much back story

I've been keeping my eye out for some new MCs to swap out my coffins and I came across these today http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Brembo-pump-for-Ducati-999R-clutch-and-brake_W0QQitemZ120521275420QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0fa0b81c


Anyone know if that, or something like it, would go onto my 620 without too much grief?


Thanks
Andy

I'd guess new lines at the least... oh, and a solution for your mirrors, unless you already have barend types...

If you are worried about the amount of brake lever travel at the master cylinder, there is an easy fix. Use two different brake lines from the stock s2r800 master cylinder. I have two new lines one for each caliper and the brake lever travel is actually far less than the stock system. Easy to make and if anyone needs measurements for the front end I have fitted let me know. I have the DP showa fully adjustable front end which is longer than the stock s2r800 front end.

Those 999 levers/masters look damn good on my bike.  That's all I know  8)

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.  - HST

What are those risers for the clipons you have (sorry to derail\necro the thread)
