I guess you can tell I'm not sold on any benefits of a single drilled rotor on our little bikes. I don't ride downhill very often at 100 mph needing to stop suddenly.
But I'll bite... Who is this Shawn dude and where can I find info on his "big brake kit"?
I am considering a steel brained line from HEL for the LS650 for $49 (broken link below - you'll have to reselect Suzuki LS). With semi-metallic pads, a steel braided line, and some quality fliuid - I think I can "stop" there. And of course we have those wonderful pieces of wood (probably recycled cardboard) in the rear drum brake for extra drag!
