I've liked the Axxis Ultimates in the rear so well, I'm waiting for to get their front pads when they come out.

I pretty much went on my own on the break conversion. You don't have to take the hub off unless you want to keep your dust shilds intact. You can drill out the rivets that hold the dust shild on to the spindle and cut the shild with a dremel like I did or you can bend your dust shilds to clear the bigger breakes. Yes there is 3 allen head bolts that have to come off that are on there good if you decide that you want your dust shields intact. Some people made their own sleves for the bolts,some drilled and tapped them for the 05-06 bolts. I bought my sleeves from JHP, it was the most conveant thing for me to do.
