Yet Another Brake Question

I have a 2008 GSXR1000 that has never had very good front brakes. I changed over to the Galfer superbike braided lines, EBC HH pads ( I know a lot of people are now braggig up the Vesrahs, but I hadn't heard a lot about them at the time), and the high temp Motul fluid. Toward the end of a 20 minute session, the lever is pretty much back to the grip in hard braking areas. I have heard the GSXRs master cylinders suck so I'm looking for options. I was talking to a CR @ Putnam a few weeks ago and he was telling me that for a couple years (2006,07'?) the R1, R6's master cylinders were made by Brembo and would bolt right on and that I could probably find one on E-Bay. Anyone else ever heard of this? I would appreciate any advice you guys may have.

Never heard of the R1/R6 MC bolting up, but the Brembo MC upgrade is definitely one of the best upgrades I've done. That coupled with Vesrah pads, and the braking is greatly improved.
