Sort of...
Doing the **** we been doing for eons, and putting a "Handle" on it??
Gotta wonder whose Idea that was???
Surely not the people selling.... "Kits" to ????
Just something that makes me shake my head!!!
I have to Wonder what Quality those Parts really are??? As far as Performance Upgrades...
If ya ain't noticed... I Hate Buzzwords, and Marketing Ploys!!!

I don't care much for marketing buzzwords myself, however it is a pretty much universally understood term - easy to get the point across imo. So I use it.
You understood what I meant, right?
Anyway, on to more important things. I got some fresh oil and filter in, will do the other two soon, but I needed to get out for a ride since I made a record breaking in and out of the NYS DMV in all of 15 min* this morning! So now that I have plates, I ride.
So the brakes are pretty bad. I was about to order a Wilwood 120-7737-P caliper and a set of Lyndall Gold pads, but I wanted to make sure thats the right one. Omaha, you have this right? Is that the caliper I need?
Thanks
*For all not familiar with the dreaded NYS DMV. A typical visit for anything is a MINIMUM of one hour, usually longer. I've been there for hours (yes, plural) before storming out in blind raging fury. I scheduled three hours for the visit. I mistook the opening time for 0800, when it was actually 0830. So I was early, and only about 50 ppl on line ahead of me. So I was stunned when my number came up after only 10 min. All in all, it made for the start of a happy day!

Note that stock mounting hardware doesn't work. You'll need a pair of 3/8" x 16TPI x 1" bolts to get them on.

Also, I suppose I should have a set of shims handy? Or will they bolt right up perfect?
Thanks!
