better brakes

[Randy Grein]

Supersport isn't unlimited mods - in WMRRA it's about equivalent to  
AMA supersport. In the engine you're allowed a pipe, 3 angle valve  
job, cam timing, .5 mm overbore and (because we were told it became  
impossible to police) compression change through cylinder/head  
decking. The modified classes are generally making another 10-15 hp  
with front end and wheel swaps. The same people on the same bikes  
generally dominate 650 SS twins, lightweight superbike and  
middleweight GP twins.
