Ninja 400 Rearsets for ABS and stock brake light switch? Driven, Sato, something else?

So I've started tracking my 400 this year.  For reference it's also my street bike.  I do one track day a month.  The bike has a YSS rear shock, Bitubo front carts (both sprung for my weight) and I had the suspension and chassis geometry professionally set up.  The suspension / geometry setup transformed the handling of the bike.  It's amazing compared to what it was. 

Anyway, I had already removed the feeler pegs previously and today I touched the foot peg down a bit a couple times, and I don't like the feeling so I'm looking for rearsets.  I'm looking at the Driven TT and Sato ones as they retain the brake light switch.  The Driven have folding pegs, the Sato are fixed.  Is one "better" or more preferred than the other?  The Sato look better (IMO) and the gold is sweet but not sure it would work on my teal bike.  Are there other ones that you've used you'd recommend over these? Thanks!

Ordering a DAC from china?

Hello. I'm thinking about ordering a DAC direct from the company in china. It's an electronic gadget that connects my phone to headphones. Price is 80 US, free shipping. How do I go about finding out if or how much the tariff will or could be?

Thanks!

Vesrah pads for 90% street, 10% track on a Ninja 400

My 400 is both my street and track bike. 90/10, maybe 80/20 street/track use. For reference I'm in novice and I've done two track days on it this year and only maybe 5 or 6 decent street rides. I just put EBC HH's on the front but need new rear pads so I'm going to move those to the rear and get something good for the front, and Vesrah RJL-XX keeps coming up as a great pad but all I can find are RJL or RJL-ZZ for my bike. Is one of these good or should I keep up my search for the XX pads? From what I've seen the ZZ is more of a race pad and may have more initial bite where the XX doesn't have the initial bite but ramps up in a more progressive manner? Or should I look to another brand? Thanks!

Of IEM's, motorcycle helmets, Cardo and cable management?

Hi all. I have a Cardo Edge (the magnetic mount one) and I want to try out my IEM's with it. What is everyone doing with all the extra cable? Just dropping it down over your shoulder and into the back of your jacket? This thing already has about 8" or so of wire to the 3.5 plug then 3 feet of wiring on the IEM's themselves. I really don't want it all just out there blowing around smacking on my helmet.

On a bit of a side note, do better cables have like a thing on them to slide up to kinda snug the cable behind your head/neck to keep the cable from pulling on your ears?

Ninja 400 seat for track

So I have my second ever track day coming up and I'm wondering what seat to put on the bike. For context the bike is also my street bike but has had the suspension upgraded to triple adjustable rear shock and front cartridges with rebound, compression and preload adjustments. The bike is currently at the chassis and suspension shop getting a track setup done on it. I'm six feet tall and 210 pounds in gear.

I have the OEM seat and ergo knockoff which is what I always street ride. Sooo much more comfortable when I'm out doing a couple hundred miles. But I'm wondering if the lower seating position of the OEM seat is better for track riding? The ergo seat is a good 1 to 1.5 inches taller.

So which would be better for track? Higher up "over" the bike or the lower more "in"the bike of the OEM?

Safety wire pliers... OEM Tools 22661 / Ares 10009 6" or Yardstore 9"?

Hi all. I'm looking for new safety wire pliers and considering the OEM Tools 22661 / Ares 10009 6" or Yardstore 9" US made ones. I like the 6" for getting into tighter spaces but I like the look of the lock system on the Yardstore ones. It looks much more positive. The latch is what always seems to fail for me, at least on the cheap ones I've used. The lock down tab gives up so they won't stay latched in my experience. I'd rather have the 6" if anyone has used this one and had good experience. Or is there a 6" with a good lock on it? Otherwise, does the Yardstore one work as good as it looks?

This picture from the SnapOn site looks like a great lock but I can't actually find it for sale
