I have the Brembo vented disc conversion on my Tiger. Currently running without a servo. As I'm getting old & don't like feel of brakes.. too much effort, I'm planning to put a servo back in, in the passenger footwell. [no room under bonnet]
Any suggestions as to what ratio servo to go for. They seem to range from 1.6-1 up to 3-1. Most common seem to be 1.9-1. Any advice /experiences?

bOB,

tHERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER.. EVEN BEFORE YOU GET A SERVO..

wHAT SIZE BORE IS ON THE mc YOU ARE USING?
iS IT A DUAL MC?
wHAT IS THE TOAL PISTON AREA OF THE CALIPERS?
aRE YOU RUNNING DISC FRONT AND BACK?

tHEN LOOK AT WHAT ASSISTANCE YOU NEED.. MAYBE ONLY A CHANGE IN mc WILL BE REQUIRED..

oops.. sorry for the caps!

Its single circuit with standard bore master cylinder. I did have a smaller bore MC [until it leaked] which gave more travel & lighter feel, but still not good. Have recently switched to standard mintex pads which have helped a bit. A 2.3 -1 ratio has been recommended for a good feel. Advised that cheap e-bay power boost servos "[lockheed style"] are best avoided. Any one tried one?

my modern lockheed sticks on all the time ,dean reckons 302s cause too much vacume,i have to keep tapping the break to release it ,or i may have knackard the servo when i cooked the breaks at spa last year.soi,m looking for a solution too.

Excess vacum in my 302 isn't the problem. Not sure what happens when my supercharger causes positive pressure rather than vacum in the manifold. Assume a one-way valve cures that. Gary.. you may have a Chinese "lockheed "servo that I'm hearing about.
