Foibles?

Don't you just hate the way the reservoirs bounce around like a pair of demented Punk Rockers??

Keep the revs in the 'fun' zone above 5000rpm and they will never shake again!

Yes, especially the front brake's. I suppose nothing can be done to stop it.

It's not at the top of my list of hates, but it does seem like a bit of a design issue. Mounting them on long bits of springy aluminium and then using rubber mountings means that any vibration is accentuated by the long arm and the rubber does little to damp the vibration. They would be better mounted directly onto the bars as they are on many other bikes.
