All good thoughts and input!

I may pick up a Goodridge brake line next time I'm running errands in Sac. I ran them on my old Harley's front disks and they worked great. Not as costly as one may think either.

I do have a new master cylinder (and clutch lever assy) coming....if it ever arrives. I'm curious to see if (what's supposed to be) a larger bore may also help.

The curious part is the front rotor appears more than large enough to dissipate enough inertia and heat and the pads/caliper should be more than adequate for stopping a 250, even a fairly weighty one. It's not like we're trying to stop a fatty KLR here or something like that.

In all honesty, I don't ride near as aggressively as I once did so under regular riding, it's ok...but a front brake is pretty dang important when one really needs it to perform.
