@CaviMike: I'm not concerned about "brake feel"...
I'm concerned about paying $150 for a new Master Cylinder that locks my front wheel up every time I pull the trigger.

You should read that link.


I'm fully aware of brakes, all of my friends still race or stunt on their sportbikes, I just happened to switch to a cruiser.

What I'm also aware of is control. I'll take trigger-happy brakes any day over something a ham-fisted squid can't lock up. Dual 6-pots up front? Makes me excited in my pants.

@JC: That's a cool looking chop... pretty extreme for a Savage!

I can see his reservoir is a silver vial (plugged into a British/dirtbike MC, like the clear tube trick above)...
found those vials on my journey... but you gonna pay for it:

Here's a totally hidden MC option from those dummies on chop cult:

I would LOOOVE to completely hide it...
but remote actuation is gonna take some serious trial-and-error-and-money,
which I'm really not motivated enough to do... I'd rather ride!

Smiley

I'll probably end up using the setup from MikesXS... speaking of...
I can't find any discriminating marks on the MC or the Calipers to tell me what ratio the Savage is.

The internet seems to have NO information either, not a spec...
except one guy on some oddball forum who questionably mentioned a 12.7mm bore.

BUT... that happens to be the same bore as the one on MikesXS...
between Scott's vote, and a random internet mention, that looks like the path of least resistance

Just waiting on the bars to arrive for a mockup...
hoping I don't need a cable extension, but probably (I had drag bars, currently got Keystones):
