so, for anyone interested here is my final review of these brakcets. I finally got them sorted out and on the bike with a bit of adjustments. I first dremeled out a slot in the rear oil resovoir bracket (provided) so that it sat at a 90 degree angle up and down, otherwise it sits at an ugly angle, especially if you have the chrome top placed on it. The other adjustment was to cut the cylinder rod by about 4 mm so that there would be absolutley no pressure on the plunger wich in my case activated my brakes at 100 klm per hour, not locked up but un nerving to say the least. I also had to find another bold for the stop that screws to the chrome flange just above the peg so that it would not rotate. In terms of the parts, they are good and strong but the bolts are off the shelf "nut and bolt shop" type stuff, ugly, usually not an issue but they are exposed and not covered so was for me, i will find something nice to replace them with for now i painted them black. I would also recomend to Des that the brake side be made into one piece and not two.
As far as the placement etc goes, i like them very much. I feel much more balanced on the bike, corners feel better without my feet all the way out front and higher, the one inch lower seems to make a big difference. Bumps are much easier on the spine because you are sitting more on your ar** and less on the very back of it (if that made sense). Wind on the hyway does not fly up your pant leg as much and so forth. All and all i am very happy with the change.
