This really is a challenge. I'm not even an aggressive rider these days and the front brake is hardly adequate...and it's not because it doesn't have some ok stopping power. It's because of its attitude. When I get it hot, it warps. When it cools, it goes straight. Under hard braking, like Pyoungbl says, it lets out a howl or chatter. Under average braking, it's fine.

I've got the sintered pads, flushed with DOT 4 and the new master cylinder and levers.....just for testing purposes and trying to improve it. Even the caliper is "standard issue China Bike" which works so well on other CB's I've had...but it does seem like the rotor is the weak link.

I just hate to spend that much on the big front brake kit. My brain tells me that the stock rotor should be more than large enough to expel enough heat to handle the job. Maybe not......
