    The last upgrades for my Aipas

    Best price I found on eBay for the pair https://www.ebay.com/itm/317661055640 Easy brake install using stock 5mm screws and four spacers in stock positions two above and two below each screw. Initial test ride found them solid feeling, secure braking and silent.
