HGW is off the scale

If memory serves me right, I stopped 60-0 in 156 feet. My notes are not here now.

With the new brakes, it was within a foot. Same evrything on the H2.

My H2 is close to 7K in weight.

The Brembos may actually do better--they will be tested on my next H2---in March.

When it comes to brakes, believe 1/2 of what the ad says and run your own data. No one has yet to pony up numbers, yet all ads say decreased stopping distances. It is a way to sell product--after all who actually goes on the road and runs tests???? The firmer pedal makes everyone believe they can stop faster in a panic stop situation.

The brake upgrades DO decrease heat and therefore longer lasting and better brakes when on hills, etc. I still want the panic stop time and distance to improve!
