I have ridden my Cafe' conversion pretty aggressively, and I have never had any brake issues. The brake seems to work fine and they have not overheated, or faded. Other than looks.....has anyone had any issues where the stock brake cannot keep up with the power or weight of the Savage? (I know WD had a front brake that never worked properly).
Guess it depends what you're used to. I'm comparing it to everything else I've ridden with relatively modern dual-disc fronts. The front, even with s-s brake line, new pads, and properly bled, is so weak it's scary. And that's on a Ryca conversion. I can't imagine how it would work on something as heavy as a stock Savage.
