Sorry but brake bling won't stop you faster on a Duc than the OEM setup, which is already way overkill. I'd bet 'skrat could outstop you on his Hardly...

OEM was looking quite worn, and was a good bit heavier than this setup. That was the motivation to find an upgrade, but I was planning on putting it off quite awhile. Then Anthony got me a pretty good deal.

dual rotors baby and a rear that actually works too

my ass end stops just fine. Just sometimes it chooses to do so before the front has stopped moving also, which creates an "exciting" situation.

that's called a "power slide"

That would be "Full Lock Power Slide" by Boz Skaggs... local Dallas boy.

Rear brakes are for Motards.   Work great on grassy
dells

...that's why McCain wears out rear brakes on track days.

The monster line could use brake upgrades for sure... the older ones definately.  The brakes on my S2R weren't very good at all and nowhere near approaching 'overkill'.  They honestly weren't even good enough for stock imo.  Not enough bite and faded under hard use.

The upgraded master cylinder helps out tons I felt. After I changed pads, the brakes felt considerably better again. Now we are on to rotors. Last step, if I ever do it, would be the 6pot calipers.
