    Do u think the bike needs the MC or is it just for the bling factor? Personally I can't fault the brakes on mine. Although granted I don't use them anywhere near they're limit.

    Purely bling factor at the moment mate lol .. The brakes are good but my bike is new . I had the same MC on my 600 and it was also good for 8000 miles and when it went bad i couldn't find a rebuild kit for it anywhere .

    The brembo rebuild kits are every where so that also but mainly bling factor lol

    Ive been looking to upgrade my brakes, braided lines and pads for extra bite and some pazzo shorties for bling and feel!!

    Not been on track yet with mine but I'd say it's the bikes weakest link, riding hard on the road I think they fade a little??

    I might have a shitter though!? Lol

    The standard lines are poo. You can feel them swell when you apply the front brake, the Hel lines have fixed that for me. Good upgrade.

    Jonny: I had the tyga guards on my gixer aswell. Really well made.
    Givover: I've seen good reviews on brembo sintered pads. Prob what I'll go for.
    Si: I'd normally do the brake lines aswell but I've heard it quite a job on the abs version.
