I have an AP Racing Caliper on the front and stock rear. Rotors are original.
The front feels inadequate.
I suspect the front master cylinder is stock. There is a 13 mm sleeve kit available on Ebay for around $70. Has anyone used this on their bike?
I changed the rear pads because I got brake fluid on them. I put fresh pads on the back designed for the factory disc. It still feels wooden. I'm wondering if I might need to rebuild the rear master cylinder. I don't believe the rear brake could lock up the tire. It's almost useless.
I read that using a 13 mm sleeve in the rear master cylinder doesn't improve braking much and is not worth the effort.
I LOVE THIS BIKE. But the brakes must be improved. It's just not safe.
I can machine brackets for new calipers. What is the recommendation?
