    heres mine behind a vts alloy. it's close behind there. forgive the wheel, they are the winter ones, the new "s" alloys are on now.

    ha ha. it was only to see if there was enough room between caliper and wheel. plus i had to bleed the entire system so no need to put them all on at the time.

    Gavtr, they are a nice upgrade indeed, they will take a little getting used to though, you just have to trust that they will slow you down enough when braking late. Pick up a MC as well, for £20~ its worth it.
