Has anyone tried those insane front discs? What are they like?
Also what are the Kawasaki 2002 Ninja brakes like? Dual 6 piston calipers sounds neat

Buell were ok, but not amazing to my mind.
Remember you only get one disc. The improvements from the big disc it's self should be more in the way of reduced weight in the wheel.

The 6 pot tokico conventional callipers I've never been that impressed by. They've got the power, but not the instant bite of something like the Yamaha blue-spot calippers.

you can sit an xb on its nose with two fingers Shocked

i cant fault mine in anyway works a treat though in the 15 months i've had it its now on its 3rd set of front pads. but god its fun to out brake some peeps on their "wooh look at me bikes" lol Mr. Green

i'd say that looking at and using the "ZTL" its does what its meant to do and thats to look good and work very well. Thumbs Up
