Author Message   Oldbmw1 Posted on Monday, August 27, 2012 - 10:25 pm:        Is there a standard fix to make the rear brake stop? It's pretty weak for modern standards.   Pontlee77 Posted on Monday, August 27, 2012 - 11:27 pm:        some people have put the hidden twin piston caliper from brembo, but as far as a guy who has it, seemed not to improve much.   Rwcfrank Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - 01:37 am:        I would try and swap out the master cylinder with one with a smaller bore. That should decrease the amount of pressure needed at the lever. I was planning on trying this but havent got around to it yet.   Uly_man Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - 05:32 am:        Easy. Just change the pads to a sintered type. SBS or EBC HH work great. Lots of power and feel. Lock the back is easy if you must. Used them on both Ulys with no problem. Unless you have some sort of other problem with them of course. Buell pads are very good. Sorry that should read NOT very good.

Thanks to everyone responding. Oldbmw1
