Re: Beating the horse. Brake material discussion.

Re: Dunno suppose it goes here: Zero pipes warnings.
Yeah right. These are the nicest pipes I could find without spending buko bucks. I just thought a stern warning should come that they are not plug n play without the cans. Also they really should have fixed the join angle. There are better pipes but your going to be spending heavy. I may buy some Ti...

Re: Need a fast reply on some rim fitment. Custom stuff. 100
The 1000RR rear rim will fit but it will be a permanent choice. you have to bore out the chain slides and the caliper holder. My self I have a whole swinger from the RR but it has been done.
