I feel much more comfortable stopping quickly (when a DB car pulls out in front of me) that I can actually stop safely.... Worth their weight in gold, I also upgraded the pads that came with the calipers for a ceramic dustless pad seem to work very well also.

my opinion of course

HHI also makes great 4 piston calipers.. I run them on 2 of my bikes.



My girlfriend wants to 2-up on the bar hopper, so this weekend I put the pegs and the seat back on...

"Can you run 2 up with that RSD pipe? The bike like it has some really cool work done to it. I like it a lot."

yes, i think they make an adapter... and thanks for the compliments.... there's a lot of custom work there that you wouldn't necessarily notice except upon closer inspections

18" rear wheel with a 2000 sealed hub
21" x 3.5 front wheel

...stuff like that
