That's correct....and it bolts right on....
And works great for something that can be found on Ebay...it never hurts to rebuild it though with new seals and such just to be safe.

What year R1?
Mine are off a 2008....
Yamaha still uses Brembo M/C but not sure if the new ones fit..
Brembo master cylinders are pretty generic...Revzilla sells them for a decent price.

lol...you do Not want to think what a new factory Brembo mc costs from Yamaha or Kawasaki, one straight from Brembo would be alot cheaper.
There is nothing wrong with a used mc that appears in good condition either.
As @Bumblebee said, rebuild it, that way it is basically new. All you need is snap-ring pliers to replace the cup seal, and the rebuild kit will come with a new spring, dust seal and snap ring.
As for which Brembo mc you would want new, that is debateable, based on feel and bite, as some are more aggressive.
That's a @ROADTOAD1340 question, that he has info on here somewhere.
I'll look and see if I can find a link, as he hasn't been here lately.

Revilla is pretty much always out of stock on everything I want. Looks like I'll need a reservoir too. Does anyone sell a kit with everything I'll need?Brembo master cylinders are pretty generic...Revzilla sells them for a decent price.

To be honest I've never researched this as I already have one....
Quite a few members here run them and would know more than I do as to where the best place is to buy them at the best price...
I know the mc's make a big difference, but I prefer to do lines for better feel, regardless of which mc the bike has, and the pads do make a difference.
Both of those can be done for the price of a mc.

I think I'm all set for tools
No, not those, and never use race pads on the street, as race pads need to stay hot to bite correctly.
www.schintzracing.com
has the Ebc Extreme Pro pads, as they must say Extreme Pro to be them.
I'de also check Core-Moto's brake line prices, as Spiegler has gotten Expensive!!

Be careful with promises that the magic upgrade from a box will make performance better or make one safer. The tires govern the true minimum stopping distance, and one's braking technique and response time are the most critical aspects of emergency stopping. Make sure and critically analyze all of these items.
