Re: too good to be true???
Amazing, how many products they sell on Amazon and how few reviews are listed -- mostly with no description. Lots of 1-star "don't fit" and a few about incomplete package received. But from my 15-minute research, really no info out there at all.

Re: too good to be true???
I bought a speedo cable the same brand, figuring i only got a year out of the motion-pro before it. It fit ok, we'll see how long it lasts...

Re: too good to be true???
Did you grease the speedo cable occasionally?

Re: too good to be true???
Interesting. The usual cause of failure is lack of lubrication. Did you replace the entire cable and housing or just the inner cable? If just the inner cable, then that would indicate a damaged housing (sheath). When you greased the cable (grease, not oil) did you use a waterproof grease? Did you go sparingly on the bottom couple of inches of the cable? The rest of the cable you grease the snot out of, lots of grease. Any excess will come out the bottom as you feed the cable into the housing.

Re: too good to be true???
Yup, white lithium. It broke right at the first bend behind the wheel, the same place the previous one had. Maybe a routing issue. This time I put a bit more of the slack into the fairing, so a little less sharp bend by the wheel.

Oh, the sharp bend, yep, that'll do it. Shouldn't be any sharp bends at all.

Re: too good to be true???
So NOBODY has any experience with these NICHE Front Brake Pad Rotor Kits? Did they just pop up out of the dirt, making a zillion different kits for a slew of bikes? Weird.

Re: too good to be true???
I am running these pads and rotors on the front of my 1989. For the price I really don’t have high hopes but they stop decent. I don’t really have a stock stopping power to compare it to. However for the money, if I get a year out of them, I will be happy. I have only driven about 500 miles on them so far. Seem nice.
