[QUOTE="TheFleshRocket, post: 10985647, member: 48535"] My guess is that your original brake fluid was badly in need of replacement, or there was air in the lines. Every bike I've owned that didn't come from the factory with steel brake lines was upgraded to steel, and I don't think I could ever tell a difference--at least not a significant one. Replacing the fluid and properly bleeding the lines could have been responsible for most, if not all, of the increase in braking feel. (Or maybe your stock rubber lines were shot--but my '96 Buick wagon still has its stock rubber lines and they feel fine, so probably not.) The stock pads have pretty good initial bite and stopping power--my only gripe with them is the dust. That, and fade--although I think the fade I experienced at the track was more due to old brake fluid and insufficient cooling for the front rotors than from the pads themselves. [/QUOTE]
