    Not as much as you would think..the extra caliper is there to balance out the over size Harley master cylinder as with just the one it was wooden feeling and inadequate.

    A hodgepodge of cosmetic farkles that don't match or fit with the overall look or style of the bike.

    Carbon Fibre replacement parts.
    Spending £100's of pounds on bits of carbon to replace perfectly nice painted factory parts, just because it's carbon fibre. And then telling us it's to save weight!!! :laughing::joy:

    I agree MrOrange just bling on non structural parts, but if you have ever picked up a piece up a 12"x12" 0.040" thick piece of aircraft grade CF and tried to make it flex, Holy Cow Unbelievable. Or a piece of 3 mm diameter dyneema fiber flexible rope (cordage) rated at 1100 kg average tensile strength at 1/7th the weight of steel. You might be able to hang your mini Cooper off of two 3mm ropes. Amazing.
