    Dont go spending too much on brake upgrades yet. That caliper I put on there still had the second hand pads in that I got with the caliper. Most likely if you buy a new set of pads and give them time to mate the surface you will find that the braking is sufficient. As it is you can lock the front if you cram it.

    +1 on this.

    When I did the RF900 upgrade on the PD I was less than impressed initially, performance was only marginally better. I was using the used pads supplied with the caliper. Putting new pads in made a significant improvement.
