let me know johnny, only advantage in road terms the later singles have is the wider choice of aftermarket pads like yellowstuff.

i found that my twins tho, are improved over stock and it noticeable, and even with stock pads, they fade less then stock glanza calipers and yellowstuff pads did.

out of curiosity, how much did all the maching cost you mate??
