I need a new M/C. Stock is 17mm, but it seems everyone is selling 19mm. I'll get a firmer pedal and less stroke with the 19mm, correct? Is this good or bad or personal preference?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of both? Thanks! -Jeff ----------- |

I installed one of Mark's 19mm when the 17mm went south and I honestly haven't noticed the difference. Everything I read said I would need to press harder but I don't notice the difference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
