When I got my V7II I was pretty much underwhelmed with the front brake performance. It seemed like I was always on the front brake as hard as I could squeeze it. I don't ride very aggressively really, it's just that the stock front brake sucks.
Anyway, Todd has made available a matched set of front brake components that really improve the braking on the front wheel. When compared to the stock setup, it is unbelievable how good it is now. Just a night and day difference. Basically riding in town, I keep one finger on the front brake lever. That's all that is needed! Another cool thing about the system, is that you can dial in just how much braking action you need. The master cylinder adjusts the amount of fluid displaced by the piston, so you can go from a weak factory stock feel, to a two finger squeeze that will actuate the antilock immediately. I have mine set right in the middle.
I figured I would post some pictures of the completed installation.
Brembo 15RCS. Had to add the external reservoir. Had to cut the ends off of the stock brake lines and thread new ends on. Also had to bleed the brakes, a messy job, but not too bad.
