So, I never liked the feel or action of the stock front brake lever. Even though it had the "trick for it's time" remote adjuster on the opposite H/bar. All the adjuster does (on this bike) is take the free play out, but it has no adjustment for lever position. So for me, the lever always felt, too far out from the H/bar..... (I like it closer, so you can use 1 or 2 fingers).
The lever used on my Superleggera is similar but different. The remote adjuster actually moves the lever position in and out with a wide range of distance available !
So I swapped the lever over to try it out and it works perfectly. You also have to use the little plunger "dowel" pin (see attached picture) from the SL to make it work because that is different too.
Now it works like (I think) Ducati originally wanted...
I just ordered a new lever to replace the one I robbed from my SL, so I don't know (yet) if it comes with the dowel pin thingy. The lever is expensive ($350) but it also enables the use of 3 different pivot points 19/20/21 similar to the RCS series, but this lever is called a MCS.
There are defiantly cheaper ways around this problem, like replacing the whole Master cylinder with something else, but this uses OEM Ducati parts !
