I'm glad that you weren't hurt!

Aluminum bars will also help to soften the vibration at the hand grips.

Approaching an intersection I began downshifting and applying the back brake, very strange applying the rear brake did nothing, luckily I had plenty of following distance and used the front brake w/ downshifting to bring my speed down....the rear brake did nothing, almost felt like a gas peddle :(

...A caliper mounting bolt had fallen out, allowing the caliperr to swing up and off the rotor...

Thanks for posting the warning.
