Group there are some excellent brake calipers available for motorcycles. The dirt bike front calipers are especially attractive. IF I have to upgrade that is the direction I'll look. Don't know how the RV-10 brakes are yet.

Todd, As best I know, Van supplies the same rotor/wheel/brake kit on all his models and have since .. well, back before my kit purchase in 1992. This is an independent upgrade offered as a kit by Cleveland brakes and sold by (at least) Aircraft Spruce for around $300 USD. Since the rotor can be had for around $150, I couldn't see paying the $300
but then I found out the 1/8" shim cost $84.00 each which could have made the spruce kit look like a deal. But for $168 USD I figured I could take 30 minutes or so to make two of them {:>).
