I’ve run a pair on Renthals for about 15 years, on flat bars the angle looks very odd and wrong. Surprisingly dispite not even being able to take the tops off without losing fluid, they have worked OK. I was expecting there to be dramas but never had any.  They do look strange though! 

Same, I’ve had the brake on an LSL bar for about the same amount of time and it works fine. Keep telling myself I’m going to swap it out for a Brembo RC at some point, but I kinda like the look of the coffin reservoir on the bike.

Same. I put it on my “to do” list many years ago, but never needed to…

Seen more then a pair of Beringers with faded colors so choose wisely. And you probably know this but still, radials need a bigger bore then axial m/c.

Do you know how much bigger the diameter needs to be when go radial?

Depends on your callipers. 

Radial m/c have longer levers because they moved the pivot point over. To get the same displacement the piston size goes up.

Aha, thanks.

I already thought it had to do with different amounts of travel.
