Hi DOHC,
Just wondering if you noticed any difference in the feel at the brake lever with these pistons fitted?

 

I did not notice any difference between the OE pistons and the phenolic pistons.  Honestly, the Z1R brakes work poorly in both cases.  I talk about this later in the thread I linked to.

I did the master cylinder upgrade at the same time- and never rode the bike with the stock pistons so it would be tough to pinpoint specific areas of improvement.
