Default Upgrading the brakes

Thinking of upgrading the brakes on my Deuce. At minmium new calipers, most likely the 360 brake if I can get some reviews on it. Anyone out there running a 360 brake? What is your take on it?

yeah just noticed the cost as well... 900 smacks to the face besides replacement pads are 99 f'n dollars

but showing off a wheel thats worth it.. that wheel prob is a couple grand as is(ok maybe u went broke buying wheels) haha

same money when buying the matching rotor when buying the wheel :P and never buy them chrome calipers..or them kevlar pads


whats that 500(floating rotor) + 300+ or so for chromed out calipar + 40 bucks per set of brake pads.. ..ok 850.00 for a regular fancy setup
vs the 900.00 for the 360.....

not that bad eh...
