    And while we're at it, thoughts on installing a remote balance adjuster? I can't imaging how brake balancing would change much or need to change much unless you're racing?

    I used a cockpit adjuster. It makes things really easy during initial setup. Not so much twisting a knob easier, but eliminating the need to find a safe place to pull off the road, adjust, get back on the road is very nice. It allows you to just drive a normal cruise, w/ an occassional hard stop when no one is behind you.
