wow nice feedback,,,NOT...I don't deal with anyone that has less than 98% and then I read the negs that brought them down to 98%....It's a trust thing really...

otherwise looks like a nice setup...I went with the stock MC, and those calipers...regular pads, they are an improvment over stock for sho...Need to get some EBC pads for them...

1. Will the 04 RC-51 calipers bolt right up and work on the OEM VTR rotors, and use the same mounting bolts and SS lines on my VTR?

2. Are you saying you would NOT buy from this guy?

Time is running out and inquiring minds need to know.

Thanks

YOu need to grind away a little bit of material from the underside of the caliper to mount them. Do a search, there is existing info about this.

It was under brake system overhaul.

Problem is, Slowhawk does not say if VTR lines and banjo bolts will work...

Yes they fit I had ss lines already on when I did it...you grind a little, use a drill and a bit made for sanding worked best for me, better than drimel...

the lines bend just a bit, as if they are a smidge longer, but no worries they work...mind works fine....

oH, and I was not saying not to buy from this person, it was just my opinion, I don't personally do business with anyone that has less than 98%, I mean not very many will have 100% including me at 99.8% there are stupid people out ther you have to account for....
