If you still have the rubber hoses get some stainless steel brake hoses for full pressure to the pads.
Yes you can thin the rotor, and drill them too for better stopping. Godffery's Garage (Jeff is a member here) does them correctly. Less weight and better stopping.

I believe you.

Keep it coming.  I am waiting to hear about a MC cylinder with smaller bore.  Everybody talks about big bore MCs and those would actually provide less braking.  Smaller bore would provide more braking power, but also more travel.  Which SS lines could address.

Thank you.  Front brake performance on this bike sucks.  It does not have more stopping power than the rear.  Or at least, if it performs better than the rear, the difference is difficult to perceive.  I started a new thread for this specific topic/question and asking for tips and solution alternatives.
