Simon, full floaters do rattle unless the brakes are applied, that way
they center themselves to the calipers and less drag. The instabilty

lowering the front, raising the tubes, you have decreased the trail and
making it less
Also another racer trick is to take stock discs and remove the little
washer that in on the pin that hold the discs in place, maybe on the
inside or outside of it. The reason the factory does it is for the sound
tests they have to pass. Without it they wouldn't.
Don "Old Man" Smith
Jeff, you are correct! Its like having three different motors trying to

Don't mess with a switch for the v-boost. Either do a pipe and stage 7
