| I have a twin disk setup on my 900ss that I ride to work each day. Around town this is fanastic. I really like the bite and it means in traffic I can stop on a sixpence when a pedestrian steps out from infront of a bus. But generally, I'm not going that quickly around town either. Although I do a fair bit of touring on this bike, it's not like the hectic scramble that racing can be, plus I'm usually two-up and need the extra braking power.
My DD 600ss has only the single disk, standard caliper, standard master cylinder and Goodridge braded lines. I had Bendix pads in, but changed to Performance Friction this last round at Cadwell. The Bendix pads were shagged before Snett and I really should have changed them earlier. Next season I'm planning on uprating the caliper and master cylinder, but staying single disk. I quite like the way the brakes ease on with the single disk (as phil_h explained above). I find that it's no drama to overtake underbrakes this way - I got past a good few into Park and the Chicane at Cadwell this weekend. I think with extra super bitey brakes I wouldn't be as confident to do this.  |
