wtf have you been doing to your breaks? I put 10K on my bike before I changed anything.

If you're putting in new lines . . .watch out for bubbles in the master cylinder . . . nobody told me and it took a day to change :-p

a day to change? crappy... buymoto sells a break fluid kit thingy, looks pretty cool

Some guys sandblast their rotors when changing their pads out. Anyone know where this can be done?

Are you serious Casey? 400 grit wet sanded will smoothly resurface your rotors?!:confused:

Thanks for that tip kc, I just put on some Galfer lines and HH pads and used 400 grit on the rotors as per your advice to deathblow,the total combined increase in braking power is awesome. Galfer recommended having the rotors re-finished so you saved me a bundle of hassle. Thanks. :clap: :D
