i jus don't understand the rear brake problem u all seem to b having. my 15000 mile 03 streetfighter will lock the back wheel at any speed..in fact i overheated and discoloured the disk when practicing locking the back wheel going into corners!
it's not as sharp atm but that's cos the pads nearly done.
i use back brake a lot to even up my braking..i wud crack up if it was as ***** as u all seem to b experiencing.
any idea if tuoldo's like mine have generally good back brake?

It varies bike to bike. My Tuoldo was fine, Liz's Gen 2 is fine, my Factory was *****. It's Fine now that I have the mastercylinder relocated vertically on the rearsets
