    Yea there is a difference esspecially in faster corners but it's debatable whether they're that good to warrant the price tag to be honest ..... look so good tho :D

    Thank you, The full floaters were a little noisier than I expected but you can only hear them at very slow speed .... the OOOOO factor when I sit and stare at it is worth it tho

    Very nice!

    Did the caliper and bracket (rear) all fit fine, want to get one but they say Marchesini wheels only..which I don't have..?

    I had to mill 2.6mm off the bracket due to the wheels being originally from an R1 but it would have fitted easy if they had been for a Blade fitment, hardest part was making sure I got the brake line the right length

    The rear caliper won't fit with a standard wheel due to the hub being too big for the wider caliper

    So it must be the M/C needs changing then, I thought maybe changing the calliper would help.

    I had a cb500 the other week when my bike went to dealers if that rear brake can work why can't the cbr ? Its a god sent around town
