I would think the center lock would be a little lighter (maybe), a bit quicker to change a wheel and I really like the look.

No question, the centerlocks. Of course, if they're actually the fake retrofit things, it's a bit silly. I'd still probably be stupid enough to take them because it's a differentiating (novelty) feature of the 997.2.

I'd like the centerlocks - it would give me another excuse to spend more money on fancy German tools (multiplying torque wrench - short handle with gears to convert a long light stroke into a short stroke with several times the torque).

From their info, it seems to me the description excludes the Tequipment product with its vestigial five slug adapter.

Very good point that I had not thought of.

Chicks dig guys that survive gnarly crashes with tough scars.
ps. The centerlock is, in my humble, more idiot proof than five slugs:

I'm thinking that if they work for the Sypder,........... unless one screws it up I doubt it is much of a risk. My 0.02 cents.
