I'm with Blacky (the pipes the pipes ) on that
I don't know how many blokes in here have tested brake tech rotors..........I know I have.....
I rode Ray's bike @ Jindy last year & his brake set up was LIGHT YEARS ahead of the standard busa combination
The stock busa brakes (as delivered new) are only adequate but deteriorate over a surprising short amount of time (IMHO).
One area of concern is the attach points between the carrier & disc itself. Problem is, if you are a weekend warrior, you don't notice the degradation around town until you really need to stop in a hurry & I've seen heaps of blokes who have really really needed to stop in a hurry
The busa maintenance manual specifies that the rubber brake lines be changed every 2 years...........how many owners follow that advice Do yourselves a favour & fit braideds instead when the 2 years are up
There's a lot of money spent on go fast stuff, bling etc but the priorities are all wrong. Fix your brakes first & leave the rest till later.
I have seen photo's of turbo busas who's owners have left the rubber brake lines on............the eternal optimists <i></i>
