    What other more powerful calipers fit the XS650 ?

    Get a left side caliper from Mikes/XS650Direct, add a set of Maxim 1100 discs and you're set. Plenty of power.

    Final exam at the Swagelok course. Notice how the tubing work hardens at the bends and gets a bit tougher. Amazingly strong stuff.
