greetings tony
me too new blue one.

I was also underwhelmed with the front brake.
I reckon the first choice is brake pads. I can't imagine brembo actually
making a really poor brake.

my last bike, ZX7R had OK brakes, I tried EBC HH and they became great brakes.
that'll be what I try first.
I had braided hoses on anyway. To be honest I've never notice braided hoses
made much difference myself. Maybe I have wooden hands.

Hello and welcome again, get a picture on the gallery I would like to compare the two.

I will be doing the pads over the winter.

I always seem the give the lever at squeeze when the wheel is off. It's like the 'don't press' red button syndrome.

Haha. Yes, it's just showing the bike a bit of love. But not a good idea when brake piston goes flying across the room, followed by a jet of brake fluid....

I agree about the strip of hardwood. Except I use 6mm plywood.
