Not surprised you like it, you like that other one too...

But those stickers would have to go. IMO they make a work of art look cheap.

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.
It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Pretty much, yeah.
In the normal configuration (calipers bolted to forks) the brakes are next to useless.
I've taken to hanging them loose like that, and kind of throwing them so's they snag on roadside objects, ship's anchor-like. Helluva improvement over standard.
