Essentially, any portion of the vehicle not supported by the suspension is subject to acceleration due to road irregularities. The less mass the better your suspension can keep your tires in contact with the road. (sounds like a commercial...) Sorry, I meant unsprung mass.

YMMV. But you're right, they sure are pretty :)kel I’ve sheared way too many lightweight bolt on my racing bicycles to scare me away from even thinking about running Ti caliper bolts on a motorcycle.

You don't get much for $44 these days. You can have 3 packs of cigs, a bottle of <a href="http://www.bumwine.com/nighttrain.html" rel="nofollow">Night Train Express</a> and a BK Chicken Sandwich Value Meal to round out a special evening OR... can have your pretty bolts (Squeals like a girl: I love the yellow!). The choice is clear, isn't it? Tell them to go easy on the mayo. ;) Whatcha doin' with the front calipers? Are you refurbing them because of an issue or just making them better? Wow! You don’t get much for $44 these days.

Too Funny! It almost sounds like legalized crime to charge that much for a couple of pretty bolts. Those are really pretty bolts. Too Funny!
