its supposed to be an automatic adjustment type deal, but the cables can stretch. i'll look around a bit.

As you have heard me mention before, good pads, SS lines and high-quality fluid will take you WAY beyond the OEM brakes of your ride. I would seriously consider this as a very good and inexpensive option. I did the math earlier today on another forum and figure those items to be below $400, assuming you don't need to pay for labor.

Well the plan is stainless lines and Hawk HPS pads on all 4 for me...for now. I think the cobra brakes will do it for me for a while. I'd like to get a set of vented disks for the rear because I warped my brakes the other night slowing down from 135 at the top of 4th...got that pulsating feeling when I hit the brakes after that and That i do NOT that want to happen and I think it was the rear brakes because they are not vented.

Losing that much speed requires that you release the brakes every few seconds (depending on how hard they are applied) to remove the heat build up. Remember, brakes convert energy into heat
