Right out of the box, the initial impression was very good; the lever itself looks quite sharp and feels sturdy in hand. I immediately noticed how well the brake pumps perform—other buyers seem to feel this too, with one person mentioning they perform luxuriously on the circuit with their Aprilia RS50. For my installation, I found that it fits perfectly well, much like another user mentioned fitting it to their KTM Duke.
The quality of the actual braking mechanism seems brutal, giving me a much more confident feel at the lever.
However, I must mention a slight snag during assembly. While the main lever looks great, I experienced an issue with the mounting hardware. One user sadly reported that the aluminum hold axle broke on the initial tightening, which is certainly a letdown when you are eager to get everything mounted.
Luckily, in my case, I didn't run into that exact issue, but the quality of the assembly screws did give me a moment of pause. Despite that minor worry on the small fittings, the performance of the master cylinder unit itself is excellent; they really do brake quite well.
If you are looking to refresh the controls on your Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, or any bike requiring a universal 22mm perch, this product offers compelling performance for the price point. You are definitely getting very good quality braking components here, as confirmed by several different users who have installed these master cylinders.
Overall, I strongly recommend this master cylinder for riders seeking a significant upgrade in braking feel and aesthetics. Just pay close attention during the installation of the smaller bolts, and you will be very happy with the stopping power delivered by this 18RCS perch.
