You are correct sir. :tup:

Nice custom detailing there, sir!
And I thought I was tricky in painting my spacers to match...

:iagree: It is worth the effort to not have the rust-ring.

Thanks for the tip. Did you demonstrate perhaps in a build thread?

Did you notice a difference in stopping power?

Hard to say if they make a difference on their own. I did those and stainless lines along with a fluid change at the same time.

Hmm, mayhaps I will check out the SS lines as well. :)

Edit: That's nice for only an extra $100. What fluid did you go with, Motul?

I went with Quiet tech pads, Mutol fluid and premium ss lines. Just went on a long, hard cruise today and had no fade.

One thing though, if you chnage pads, you will have different pedal feel. I thought my brakes weren't bled properly, but that wasn't the case. Two friends have exactly the same set-up and noted the same thing. They both report it gets firmer as the pads work in.

Honestly, it's so easy, it wouldn't be worth the effort for a thread. PM me when you get your stuff and I'll walk you through it if needed.

I didn't say everyone had issues, just some people. I'm hoping I'm one of the people without an issue. :tup:

So the "inside" edge is closest to the black hats, correct? Did you paint the black hats as well?

I've referenced your handi work here:

Holy Gawd that pic is huuuuuge!! :eek: :tup:

I think I'm going to snap a pic of my plastics now that they've been installed for a few weeks now. :)

Correct, closest to the hat. You do not need to paint the hat.
