powerdad3;I've had them on my bike for about 6 months and love them riding this bike for more than an hour was torture before I installed them(I,m 6'2'').You'll notice it requires more pedal pressure to apply the rear brake,especially to lock up the rear tire than with the stock setup,some forum members like this better than the very sensitive stock setup.As far as installation its pretty straight forward just be careful not to overtorque the brakeline banjobolt/brakelight switch at the mastercylinder, a few members sheared it off.And take your time when bleeding the brakes if you don't get all the air out the rear brakes will barely slow you down.good luck and enjoy,this was without a doubt the best money I spent on this bike.
