I dont think the 400ex MC (master cylinder) is any better than a predator as i think they are both made by nissin but that fact that when you switched them over you bled them better so you had better feel. I personally like my brakes "mushy" whereas i can lock them up but it wont send me over hte handlebars. Its weird but it works well for me. ;) also what made you change MC's and did you change the rear also? i doubt the rear cause that would require some booty-fabbing.........
