good stuff and kudos for resisting the common fad of fititng an oversize rear. Will steer much quicker with the stock widths.

with all the nice work and bigger mill you are doing would seriosly consider a brake upgrade, if you'll ride the thing like it begs to, im pretty sure youll feel the need. i went up form 280 to 300 discs in my racer + P08 brembo's and after finding the right compund for the pads, they are another world,

The 750 E's (standards) definitely had the 19/18 setup...pretty sure the L's and R's did as well.
