Jason, have you figured when you're going to head down then? The
exhaust shouldn't take *too* long, barring any problems, and the same
thing for the brakes. Assuming the caliper bolts haven't rusted in
place or something it should be a simple R+R.
As far as offroading with the new brakes, does anyone know
anything about that? Would they have to be broken in first? I
wouldn't think that some mud and water would hurt anything, but
then again I am no brake expert either. :-) Maybe you could head
out on the road on Saturday morning and do a bunch of repeated
stops to get the brakes heated up and broken in before hitting
the trails?
