I've been putting my bike totally back to standard spec but I really want to improve my brakes, they aren't dangerously weak or anything but they're squidgy and have no feel.


I've ordered some HEL braided lines (keeping it low key with black covers and banjos) but I've read quite a lot about using a Blackbird master cylinder to improve feedback because it has a lower capacity for fluid or something? Is this possible on a Hornet, and would I need to buy a Blackbird brake lever too?


Also, do I need to inform my insurance company about upgrades to the braking system? (I bet the premium goes up, even though the quality/safety of the bike will have been improved :crybaby: .)
