If your ABS Bemmer stops 10'xs shorter than your Norton then I'm sorry for your poor Norton. Doubting what I've quoted on Tribology is pure emotional reaction, fun as that may be to react to - it don't apply to stopping physics. Doubting Galfer's rotor site is good awareness of product selling PR, even if its got some truth to it. If a modern sport bike could not stop shorter than factory Norton set up then its got some faults to fix. But even factory Norton brake in good fetter can haul them down with ABS like security from high speed then some feathering to prevent lock up under 40 or so.
My Trixie Combat brake has decayed so bad I can't even stop it at walking speed last time I tried to stop in garage, going so slow no issue if I couldn't so didn't thank you. Ugh prior to the rust leak and hose budging, just a simple rebuild and removing the Norton "fly over the bars preventer restrict-or" in m/c, gave Trixie exactly what I reviewed to expect above.
About 1/3 of Peel's deal is to out corner what ever else, ~1/3 to out sprint what ever up to some unknown limit and ~1/3 to stop faster from hi speed and on lose stuff than what ever else on two wheels. I may not measure up to hardly any of you seasoned experts, but I don't know of any one else having such good brake they seriously attempt C'do stoppies, which I now think are impossible on level surface, but not because of lack of brake power just CoG so low I can not hold myself down from flying over bars on max stops and rear lifts enough to want to swap ends. With the rear link I can use my butt steering skill as learned on THE Gravel to ride a total locked front tire for a few bike lengths. The Ninja I tried and my SV all stoppie at rather less G's than my past Ms Peel could. I no longer have much respect for moderns stopping any more than their crippled turning. I repeat you all do not know what you are missing out on with such simple mods a hillbilly can do them. Stay tuned as my plan is to tease the bike magazines into a shoot out on all parameters measured with what ever their best shots are.
No Ti, no carbon fiber, no EFI, no computer aids, just direct pilot to control interface, long in tooth air cooled push rod rubber baby buggy. 0-150-0 contest is on my mind and wallet. Hehe, ABS may be the cat's meow on panic stops but not planned practiced ones, especially on THE Lose Shit, done harsh enough there is no difference between the surface, except Tarmac is child's play compared.
Think you understand brake use and physics? I'm betting my life on mine.
