yes and at that price its hardly worth sourcing other suppliers. Its more the ease of access that appeals to me, i know where i can loose weight allready ;) my mates at work laugh at the weight saving carbon ive bought for the bike whilst piling on two stone in two years :o

couple of pics of the powder coated calipers, quite happy with finish, not to garish and easy to keep clean :thumbup:

NIce job :clap:
Must admit, they are a bit of a weekness on the old girl, especially the quality, or lack, of the bolts.
What brand of hoses have you gone for?

hoses are goodridge and the specialist bolts like pad pins and rear caliper fixings are Pro bolt. The rest are stainless bought from a local shop.
