i remember you having problems with yours - thats why i quickly bolted them on to see if it was going to be too much of a hassle before i spent any more money on it

was a bit tricky squeezing the rear 160 in - was a bit of a tight fit. had to remove the disc guard and will have to grind a bit off the chain guide. apart from that i had no trouble. havent been able to test them as i have to get a caliper spacer for the larger front rotor and fit my other chain

overall it was quite an easy change over

cant say how much in case my girlfriend reads this lol. was a bit more then i was supposed to spend....

Hi,

If you are still after a Vapor Computer PM me, I can do them for considerably less than the $340.00 I saw posted, also have the Vapor dash assemblys available as well.

Thanks
