[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1385401, member: 104942"] Interesting. The complaints about Buells are always that the back brake isn't strong enough. It always seemed perfect to me though, the last thing I want is to lock that thing up. Never noticed the problem on the KDX. I'm running really cheap pads as well, which seem to work fine. It's ultimately just hydraulics, so if you were to change the stroke of the master cylinder to a shorter stroke with a wider piston, then you would have a shorter travel, but require more force (which I think is what you want). A narrower piston with a longer stroke would be the opposite, and travel further but require less force to lock. So maybe you can just mix and match another bikes master cylinder for the rear brake. Probably easy enough to fabricate a mount for it. For that matter, maybe you could just shorten the brake lever. That would require more force and give less travel, probably a win/win given your goals. [/QUOTE]
