The pedals look a bit slippery, though. Are they?

I think the metal pedals have rubber inserts Buster, (made from non rf rubber, for increased grip) :wink:

Love the wheel so much! Yes, the pedals have rubber inserts, they’re grippier than the standard pedals!

The pedal kit is very nice actually, brake pedal actually replaces the OEM rubber brake pedal cover and the accelerator slides over the OEM pedal and locks in meaning it can easily be reversed with no holes or anything!

Currently trying to find a set of these myself, your link from earlier in the post hasn't got any left and the other sellers I have found all have holes for what looks like drilling which I'm not keen on doing.

I think I prefer these without the ///M logos!

How much if you don't. Mind telling?
Too cheap imo! £480 posted. Including new pads and basically new discs! They seem to sell for £400 just for the calipers.
Not bad at all :thumbsup

Calipers look a decent upgrade, are you also doing something with the rears?

OEM Brakes are a bit of a let down on theses IMO so what you are doing is great 8)

I need to stop spending my pocket money on motorbikes and trackdays as until I do mines never gonna see any upgrades :cry:
E89/28i Msport gone :( .. Zx10r track bike gone… time for a KTM 350 exc-f and some green laning and dirt bike excursions…. Let’s see how this goes… : :evil:

Nothing I can do with the rears unfortunately due to the electronic handbrake so they’ll just be painted matching blue :thumbsup:

Just purchased, let's see how long snail mail takes to get them from China, out of interest did you buy genuine or 3rd party for the black kidney grills? Found genuine ones on ebay for £45 per side but the 3rd party ones look more glossy to me, could be just the lighting used in the pictures though, like you I am just concerned about fitment of 3rd party ones.
