Got double clips on the front brakes since yesterday. (OEM is single clips on the leading edges).
Too soon yet to notice any difference on FE. It's not worse, but can't really say better.
Braking seems more consistent now; the transition from energy recovery braking to disk braking happens more fluently. So for that alone it was worthwhile.
The wheel alignment was set neutral so it is a mixed experience anyway. Average FE for this tank has suffered from the roof box trip and the 20.000 km service.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
