Jay Brake 6 piston caliper help!

So I am looking to upgrade the braking on my Street Bob and the jay brake 6piston front caliper has caught my eye. What are your thoughts? The good, the bad. Are they worth it? Thanks

Its cheaper than doing a dual disc conversion. When I had my Street Bob I was planning on doing the Jaybrake calipers front and rear. Everyone seems to have great things to say about them,

Alot more stopping power than the stock set up. It is my next upgrade as a matter of fact. Jaybrake makes awesome brakes. Go with steel braided cables too, less flexing equals better stopping.

I have 6 piston Performance Machines on front and Jaybrake on back. I have Jaybrake hand controls and they're great especially since they work with Harley switch controls. I probably should have gone with Jaybrake front but think I found a better deal on PM. It's about the best you can do without going with duals up front. You have to go with a 13" rotor also. I'm sure any 6 piston caliper will be good.
