well im putting together a list of part's to put on these head's and a trick flow stage 2 cam.

that's emptying my pocket's right now.

then i wanna relocate the battery. pull the motor, clean everything, install a tube k-member, etc.

how much weight do the brakes drop?

ive heard one guy state he lost something crazy like 1-2tenth's in the 1/4 just from thouse brake's not rubbing, and the weight loss.

hmm, would be a good note to compare.

I just switched out my OEM style front's for some cheep-o drilled and sloted rotor's, so it would have to be a huge difference. Plus im sure thouse are pretty expensive.
