Awesome, I may get that and make it a winter mod.

As a follow up to my previous posts here, I installed a new SS braided front brake line and cleaned the pistons when I bled the system and installed the line, the brakes feel MUCH better now, but they are still not rock solid like the brake feel I'm used to on my other bikes....so I may swap out the rubber in the calipers and see if that does the trick.
