looks fantastic, those disks look mean as well. I wonder how much of an improvement that is over the stock set up, let alone the gold spots.

Braided hoses on the cards to finish it off?

always loved the pfm narrow discs ... look purposefull

Yep its the standard PFM superbike kit, the brake lines are goodrich with a black sleeve.

The pads i believe are Carbon friction.

Didnt cost too much as the person selling advertised them for a thunderace, so no one was interested....I was aware that it was the same kit as the R1.

once i had sold the R1 calipers and disks the upgrade cost me about £120, bargain i think :) :) :) :) :) :)

They should stop the bike at speed as if someone had put an RSJ through the front wheel, at lease thats how it felt with the same kit on my old gsxr.
