I've never yet come across a 9*6 with a brilliant back brake. I think it is a case of get used to it as it is - it's not like it's essential anyway, read Foggys autobiography and he says he never ever used his.

On mine I've fitted new HH sintered pads, Goodrich brake line and use DoT 6 fluid and it's still only a fraction better than useless when on the move. But it's still good enough to hold the back wheel when doing the clutch centre nut.
