Braided stainless line, synthetic DOT4, and sintered pads...this bike weighs 350lbs properly bobbed/lightened, no need to perform unintentional stoppies...

Yeah the big brake upgrade is a must. Two fingers effortlessly stops me , I rarely use the rear brake now. At 315 lb it makes a dramatic difference , not to mention I have lost close to 30 lbs myself.

Philthy,
Have you seen the brake upgrade kit with the R6 caliper and larger rotor offered on the list a while ago? Put one on mine Smiley


I never saw it. Too far into my current brake upgrade project to go another direction at this point.

How do you like it?

Check out the big brake kit on my bike.. it’s a thing of beauty and works like a modern performance brake should.

Gary,
If the belt setup is in good shape, just swap the front pulley for one of the modified Kawi ones with 2 more teeth.

I had a ‘56 BSA Goldstar 500 years ago.


It might seem like it was 500 years ago - but it likely was less than that! Wink



Yes, it was a bit less than 500 years to my best recollection.
Maybe “500cc” would be more helpful ?
