Blackstone Tek (BST) is the world's premium manufacturer of carbon fiber motorcycle wheels. Carbon fiber wheels are the lightest and strongest wheels available. In an independant motorcycle wheels test performed by Sport Rider Magazine in February 2004, BST outperformed all other OEM and aftermarket wheels it was put against! BST wheels are lighter than even the Marchesini Forged Magnesium wheels used in World Superbike racing and 100% safe for street and track use. More details of the wheels test available here.

In a test ride at the Donington's GP Circuit by British Superbike rider Ben Wilson of Team Vivaldi 06, "The ZX10R feels like a totally different bike, responsiveness has gone through the roof!" Fastbike magazine test rider Jamie Wilkins also said in the same test, "The BSTs leave you gob-smacked as the bike now snaps from full lean right to full lean left in an instant. Not only is it less effort, it takes less time so you can get back on the gas for the plunge through the left." The final conclusion? "There is no other mod that can save two seconds a lap instantly, even for the same money."

	LighTech Anodized Aluminum Valve Stem Caps are an easy stylish upgrade. Choose from Blue, Gold, Red, or Black caps, or go all the way with a LighTech Anodized Nut & Bolt Kit for maximum color coordination and effect!
	Brake Rotors: Aftermarket rotors offer greating braking power through a combination of different friction materials, size and better cooling. Another hidden advantage is that they are lighter than OEM! Since rotors are a rotating mass, any reduction in it's weight equates to a reduced moment of intertia; This means better braking and accelerating performance! Choose from BrakeTech's Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC), Iron or Stainless Steel Front Rotors, Brembo's HP Stainless Steel Front Rotors, or Braking's Front and Rear Rotors to further improve your bike's performance. Did you know that BrakeTech's CMC Front rotors are approx. 60% lighter than OEM? A pair of R1 CMC's are only 2lbs 2.4oz - that's 4lbs 3.6oz lighter than OEM!>/font color>

Titanium Bolts are the secret weapon used by the top tier racing teams. Titanium is ridiculously light and insanely strong making it ideal for racers. Did you know that Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal? It is as strong as steel but 45% lighter!
	Brake Calipers: Stop faster and with more confidence with Brembo Brake Calipers!

	Brake Pads: Always pair a new set of brake pads with new rotors to allow proper seeding. Brake pads are available in a variety of compounds to suit your riding style.

Choose from race proven brand names such as Ferodo, Braking or Galfer for maximum braking performance!
	Braided Brake & Clutch Lines: Make sure to pair your new Brembo brake calipers with stainless steel braided brake lines. Braided brake lines eliminates brake fade that robs you of valuable braking power and gives much better braking feedback too. We recommend Spiegler Brake and Clutch Lines because they offer a lifetime warranty, are DOT approved, and are available in 54 color combinations!
