TBF Candy, he's right. A true radial is completely parallel. The Yammy efforts are between radial and axial. I'd still argue it's radial though!
But either way, how're you finding the stopping power? I'm using an axial Bandit 1250 unit (14mm) and it's arguably not grabbing as hard as I'd expect from supersport calipers. I realise pads have an effect but even when hot, they just don't stop anywhere near as frantically as the Brembo's on the VFR. I'm contemplating getting a Brembo RCS19, but it's a big outlay if there's nothing in it between the RCS and the Yammy efforts.
The stopping power with the 04-06 R1 swap is phenomenal. Excellent feel as well. Very easy to modulate and not overly touchy either.
Part of me wants to upgrade to 2011-2016 gsxr brembos, but it would be purely aesthetic, as I am more than happy with this set up.

The mass produced Brembo stuff is like the off the shelf Ohlins gear you get on the "flagship" models of various bikes. They tend to be a one size fits all solution to add a bit of bling. Admittedly better than what you'd normally get, but not a patch on what you'd get from either manufacturer if you bought their proper aftermarket bits.
I'm looking at buying an '06 R6 MC, not cheap, but not as expensive as an RCS19...worth a punt and can sell on if I don't find any improvement.
