I see a lot of people going to these. Is the difference really that noticeable?

yes... I noticed it quite a bit... much more bite on hard braking... my rear brake I locked up alot but that had a bit to do with new rearsets (brake lever at a diffrent angle) and new rear pads...

They help a TON on the track, too. Once you start getting faster and faster, they're good to eliminate brake fade. What's brake fade? It's when you go into turn 1 hot after a few laps and you squeeze the brakes and your damn lever hits your clip-on and you're barely slowing down. Happened to a buddy of mine almost every time he went to the track. He finally got SS lines...fixed!

Awesome 09 there Dlit... I didn't see that one coming. I figured you'd hold onto the 06 for a while longer.

You could afford the system now if you didn't get assraped on the cost of the bike, sucker

I got away with a decent price for the Vegas market. System or not, all you'll see is the back of my bike.

Not at my track. Shit would blow your mind. Unlike any other track.
