What are you doing up this early?

Right! That's exactly how it felt to me. Now the $1200 dollar question is will the Brembo setup fix this?

I'm no wrench by any means, but I'd think if you ride any set of brakes that much they'd do the same thing. I know what I was doing. I was riding aggressively and braking hard for the next turn, and accelarating hard---to try and catch Nancy. Of course I was leaving Chip in the dust.   NOT.

It's alway a thrill to ride in a group with Ken!

Will the 1200 dollars spent keep you from riding your brakes?
If yes then all is well, if no then send me the 1200 and we will stay on your a$$ about riding the rear brake!
Yup! That's right! Me and Nancy are here for you!
You got my mailing address to send the check?

You see that's my problem. I had to read that first post twice for it to sink in. My synapse are not firing as quickly this morning. And for a guy that was up until 4, I'm doing pretty good. Now if I was only wake enough to find that KMA emoticon...

Im no expert on the subject but my dealer says that the stock Brembos on the 08's are not much better than the HD brakes before with the exception of the anti-lock.  He recommends going with aftermarket Brembos or PM clinchers for better stopping, I run LRB pads in the stock calipers and their floating rotors and have had no problem with fade or lack of brakes

[spydglide]

If not Brembos, what would be a 'up-grade' for the heavy dresser?  Are the PM's the way to go for performance as well as 'lookin-good'?  spyder

I think he was referring to the stock HD non anti lock brake Brembo's.

I don't think you can beat aftermarket Brembo's straight from Brembo.  My aftermarket Brembo's have tremendous stopping power...the best brakes I ever had on a big twin.  And I had 6 piston PM's on a previous Big Twin.  My opinion is there is no better brake then Brembo on anything....bike or vehicle...

Yeah, what he said!  And it not just the power . . . the feel of the Brembos is incredible.  Transmits everything going on up front and out back to your hand/foot.

If your looking for difference of feel, try the Traxxion!

I like the differential bore PM's. I have 6-piston on the fronts and 4-piston on the rear. You gotta be careful with the rear. You can lock it up pretty easy with too much pedal! But the braking response is night and day to stock. Chrome or polished, they look great too! I never had Brembos, so I can't compare. But PM's are on all my bikes!

I had PM six piston differential bore calipers on the front and 4 piston on the rear...sounds much like you have.  I liked them a lot at the time, but (my opinion) is the Brembo's are in another league...

Well Scott, maybe Joy might like to try em out!

Hoist, do they make 'bimbos' to fit the EVO's/older bikes?  spyder

Really liked my PM's with the Lyndal pads...great feel on both front and rear, but I also replaced the rear line with a complete braided stainless.  Two finger fronts, and just a touch on the rear when needed.

I had the dual differential bore 4 pistons on front and one 4 on the rear.  No brackets needed for the front, and they look good.  Had the Brembo's on the V and they are also great.

But I'm a suspension and brake guy, even over HP/TQ...If you can't turn or stop when you want to, all the HP in the world ain't going to do any good, so that's first on my list.
