Default JayBrake

Has anyone ever had forward controls from this dealer? I was talking about how the back brake does not have as much braking as I would like it to have, and one of the guys I work with said try JayBrake; it has the master cylinder built in, and that I was losing some braking power due to flex in the linkage.

Well the Linkage does go to the mastercylinder . I upgraded to Jaybrakes 6 piston caliper for both front and rear and all I can say is both WOW ! and Best money I hae spent on the bike so far!!!

I was just looking at their ad in American Iron last night. Looks like nice stuff. However, even with aftermarket forward controls (longer linkage), I have no complaints about my brakes front or rear. You might also consider upgrading the brakes themselves - something with more pistons and/or upgraded pads as R racing mentioned...

I'm sure this is stating the obvious, especially to anyone who's been riding a while or has taken the MSF course. Just keep in mind that the front brake has the majority of your stopping power to start with....

Good point and maybe that is why I haven't noticed anything squishy about my rear brake - because I never use the rear brake alone and don't believe anyone should. Your front brake should be doing most of your stopping.
