![Full spec master cylinder[VRCSeries] Clutch master](https://img.webike-cdn.net/catalogue/images/70124/BS_VRC_TS.jpg)
Clutch becomes lighter
I installed it on New Model GSX1300R HAYABUSA.
In fact, this time we are replacing VRD, also by GALE SPEED. replacing VRD to VRC from higher MODEL to Standard model may sound strange, but there are actually various reasons.
First of all, I was attracted to this VRC the moment I received it and opened the box. It looks like a work of art indeed, and just looking at it raised my Tension and made me feel that it was worth the high price.
I think it beats bremboRCS just for the smooth surface treatment. To be honest, I don't understand why brembo's RCS is so popular. I used to be a brembo RCS fan, and I used to think that no matter what kind of motorcycle I switched to, I would first replace it with brembo's RCSMASTER.
However, I felt the quality of brembo's forging was not worth the price. I was tired of that, so I chose GALE SPEED's Vine VRC this time.
Back to the story, I first went for the VRE feel and went for the bright black VRD for Cost considerations, but I quickly gave it up and went with this VRC because it looks like RCS and I felt something was wrong with it. I am usually a Touring Maine, so I can't tell the difference between VRD and VRC! Still, I chose it because of the way it looked. If that's what you enjoy, then that's fine.
Finally, after installing it and running it for a bit, it feels very good - lighter than the OEMClutch, and a little bit better at 17.5mm.
※※※※ Note ※※※※
New Model GSX1300R HAYABUSA will change the clutch master, [Hill HoldControlSystem will not be available.
The reason is that with the OEM clutch switch, if the clutch is released for a moment, the switch returns, the ECU recognizes that the car is starting, and the rear brake is released. However, with the external clutch master, the switch remains pressed until all the clutch is released, so the car is not detected as starting, the rear brake remains on, and even if the Axel is turned, the car does not move forward! This is very dangerous. I would like to see any Manufacturer solve this!
↑ It may be a little confusing, but try it yourself, it will never start!
In my case, I have turned that function off.

I'm glad I went with VRC.
I purchased this VRC when I replaced my GSX1300R HAYABUSA with a MASTER. In fact, this time, it is a replacement from VRD, also by GALE SPEED. replacing VRD to VRC from higher MODEL to Standard model may sound strange, but there are actually various reasons.

Finally, after installing it and running it for a bit, it feels very good, I feel the VRC is sufficient, I don't really need VRD or VRE except for Race.
We recommend this VRC over RCS! You will never regret it!

Installed on New Model GSX1300R HAYABUSA
[How is it used?
First installed on a 2023 GSX1300R HAYABUSA!
The OEM MASTER was too big, tacky, and too hard to grip, so we replaced it with this one.
I have always used BREMBO, but the moment I saw this VRD for the first time, I was attracted by the beauty of the forging and Quantity of this product!:Pair (for Left and Right) Both were purchased.
Even though I have always been a brembo guy, I tried GALE SPEED for a while and it was surprisingly good!
Was the one you received as per Image?
The box is yucky and full of luxury.
A little more expensive than a brembo box? The feeling that the box was a bit more expensive than brembo's box was already conveyed to us before we opened it.
So the first impression is the best!
Was the installation difficult?
It was a bit complicated to install on the GSX1300R HAYABUSA.
If you want to use OEMHose as is [30MM]. I need an extended Banjo adapter. That would save me from having to buy an OEMHose. Nice savings!
How was your experience with it?
While the OEMMASTER is 19mm, we chose this 17.5mm.
The reason is that the OEM Caliper Piston is 30mm*P4, so 17.5mm is the most suitable size. 19mm is fine, but the grip is not so comfortable and hard, so 17.5mm is better. Please choose this size for your GSX1300R HAYABUSAOwner.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Stickers, Instruction Manuals, etc. I don't want to put Stickers because, frankly speaking, they are too flashy. I don't want to put Stickers because they are too flashy, to be frank.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Not particularly, I guess. Just expensive, from my friend's point of view, it's like lower than brembo:.... But this one is higher up!

It would be great if it came with a Switch.

To relocate Rear Master Coupling
[How is it used?
Used to relocate the Rear master on MainMotorcycle's XJR1300C.
MASTER is changed to NORMAL and footpeg is changed to Over's Rear Sets.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It was made just like the Image. I checked the size, etc. on the Active catalog before I bought it.
Since both ends are M6, it was not expected that the one to be co-tightened with the footpeg would need to expand the hole to M8.
Was the installation difficult?
The combination of XJR1300 and Over footpeg can be easily installed if only the holes can be extended.
For the master cup, we recommend brembo's small tank with a 15-degree angled outlet.
How was your experience with it?
The OEM has the Rear Master Coupling in the Side cover, which is very poorly maintained.
I am satisfied with the new relocation, which has considerably improved the serviceability and looks very good.
Also, the side where the Master cup is installed has an M6 tap cut off so that it can be attached to the SMART without using a nut.
[Included Parts:were they on?
I think it came with an M6 Smallest Bolt, and a simple Instruction Manual.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
If I may say so, it would be better if the Size of the Mount part is not only M6 but also M8 with normal RANup.
Many manufacturers use M8 for Rear Sets, so I think this will make it more universal.

Attracted by the appearance, it was installed!
I was attracted by the look of the product as per the Title.
The vehicle model is ZEPHYR750.
I installed a black Gale MASTER to match Striker's Rear Sets, but the hose to the Reserve tank looked depressing, so I installed the said Aluminum Tank!
The area around the rear master is now refreshed and looks tighter.
However, the high price and low practicality (other than appearance) of the Aluminum Cut-out makes it a poor cosmetic choice.

Friendly to mods, tough on mechanics
[How is it used?
. at least as of August 19, 2019, and from the time of installation until October 8, 2023.
Mileage is at least 30,000 km
Mainly touring and occasional city driving circuit
Used with the same mounting bolt and location as OEM Fluid Tanks
Fluid used is active 4.0 and 5.1 (https://www.webike.net/sd/24038239/, https://www.webike.net/sd/24515708/)
Was the one you received as per Image?
As shown in the image, as shown in the Image.
Was the installation difficult?
Since the work was done with all Brake fluid removed, it was easy to remove the OEM, pull out the hose, cut it, attach it, and put the product on. The only hassle was that we had to bleed the air after that.
With the introduction of Rear Sets, we did not want to relocate the Tank, but we did not want to put the load of forcibly bending the Hose.
While other tanks have the hose outlet slanted directly down or toward the mounting bolt, this product, although slightly slanted, can be freely rotated 360 degrees for installation, allowing the hose to be installed in its OEM position with no waste and no load on the hose.
How was your experience with it?
It seemed to have the same capacity as the OEMTank, and there was no blowout when the pad was pushed back in the brake maintenance.
The Tank itself is not secured in any way other than being pinched, but it does not rotate or come off unexpectedly in any way.
I was concerned about heat in the center of the body, but no deformation or cracks have occurred yet.
The Fluid level is very difficult to check without any parts because there are parts that are sandwiched around the tank compared to a normal tank. When checking the Fluid level, it was necessary to illuminate it with the light of a Smartphone (Pixel 7 Pro) from the back. However, I don't remember checking it when it was transparent, so I don't know if it is the case with transparent Fluid.
[Included Parts:were they on?
I think I replaced the hose with a KIJIMA hose, and the hose clamp with a K-Con, but I have no record or memory of it, so I can't describe it.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I originally wanted a hose exit diagonally opposite to the mounting bolt. Since the wish was fulfilled, there is no need for installation.
What was unexpected was that the remaining Fluid amount was too hard to see as it was, so it would have been nice if there had been a warning note, even though it is possible to imagine to some extent.
This is the only product that allows the user to freely select the hose outlet, but the mechanism used to achieve this makes it difficult to check the remaining Fluid level.
I think this product is friendly to vehicles and modifiers, such as reducing the load on the hose. However, for those who perform maintenance (visual check of fluid level), the product is not so friendly as it requires one step of illuminating the product with a light.

Progressive Braking
Installed on my 2005 Spec III with Brembo P2 (34) rear caliper. Breaking is now progressive compared to the liner feel of the stock pump. Highly recommended to pair it with your Brembo product! View detail
Quality item, function & looks
I use this rear master on all my motorcycles, not only does it work great, it brings that finished touch to the motorcycle. View detail
![Elaborate Master Cylinder [VRE Series] Brake Master](https://img.webike-cdn.net/catalogue/images/70124/BS_VRE_TS.jpg)
A Master Cylinder that is Far and Above any other Master Cylinder on the Market
When I received this item yesterday and opened the box I was amazed at the sheer stunning good looks of the product as well as the excellent CNC machine and finishing work that went into making this master cylinder. This is a master cylinder than should be the benchmark for all others to follow. Not even the coveted Brembo master cylinder can hold a candle up to this work of art. The Japanese really know what it means to put your heart and soul into making a product that other companies can only dream of making. Of course no review would be complete if no mention was given to Webike for running one of the smoothest operations in the business. Super fast shipping and excellent transaction everytime. Keep up the good work. View detail
Cool, I like the Touch feeling.
I bought a brembo 11 pi but the screw holes were too narrow (40mm) and I couldn't install it. It looks cool and I feel that the range of Touch is wider. View detail
Great Caliper
Have these installed on the Gen2 Hayabusa, also used is the radial underslung bracket from galespeed as well, couldn't have been happier with the looks and performance. The entire set up is far lighter than the stock caliper and the breaking is really good over stock breaks. Wanted the radial set up over the axel set up and they look really nice and tidy.

Excellent control, difficult to remove air
The NORMAL Master Cylinder was old and difficult to control, so I replaced it with this product, which is a little more expensive. I don't know if it is because it is 14mm or not, but I couldn't bleed air by myself, so I brought it to Motorcycle shop. I don't know the cause of the problem, but I was able to finally use it.

Fits: KAWASAKI NINJA400, KAWASAKI NINJA250
I chose it for its appearance, but it was more well-made than I expected.
I did not like the shape of the STD Disc's Pei Barrel.
Soliddisc as Floating by changing the structure of Fixing Screw. Kiwamono." I thought it would be a typical part, but it was surprisingly well made and I actually drove with it installed, including on mountain roads, and I liked the fee ring very much.
Thanks to the Manufacturer for releasing such an interesting product.
It looks a lot cooler with a regular circular DISC!

Good Brake comparable to the Brembo P2 84mm--just one hitch
Nothing much to say about this caliper; it's a caliper--it soaks up heat in exchange for being beefier and heavier than your typical OEM caliper. The finish and quality is honestly miles better than my Brembo GP4-RX's, which is why I opted for this caliper versus Brembo's equivalent rear caliper, the P2 84mm in Nickel. I don't expect it to perform better, it's just a heatsink afterall and they're all the same material but it's cheaper, looks better, and has titanium cross bolts. There is one major drawback though, and that's replacement pads. Brembo being the bigger brand name means you'll never have trouble finding replacement pads and have your pick from Vesrah to OEM to Carbone Lorraine, etc. Galespeed, on the other hand, well, you're stuck with OEM, and maybe Vesrah, if they reply to my inquiry.

Solid Product
Since the details are kind of lacking, here's what you get; -The rear cylinder, -The mounting tab, it rides on the rail and is drilled for M6 -Stiffer Red Spring -Bigger diameter fluid inlet, if you want to up the diameter of the reservoir tubing It's a piston, not much to say about it. The quality is as you would expect from Galespeed, excellent, especially compared to the cast iron rear MC's that other companies sell. The fact you can get adjust the distance of one of the mounting points is ingenious, and with a bit of finagling I'm certain you can even adapt this MC to be used as a thumb brake, given you have a thumb brake assembly and a fitting push rod to replace the M6 rod it comes with.
