yes yes i know that disks are head and shoulders above drums, their stopping power is greater and brake fade is eliminated.
However, my bike is small, fairly underpowered, not a daily rider, and meant for around town only; I seriously doubt if this bike will ever see the interstate. That said...
When I bought the bike, it had all the brake parts in a box, not installed. I installed them, leaks everywhere, siezed MC, cracked lines. Bought another used MC with lines on ebay because it cost me the same as a rebuild kit. Took a while for me to get them bled, and the mc proceeded to leak on me. had to email the ebay seller, and wait for him to send me a new one. I recieved my 3rd MC, and after many trials and tribulations, got it bled and it was working beautifully. After FINALLY getting my motor running smooth and riding well, the SAME day my MC #$%*s up and starts leaking for the third time, now its all mushy.
I'm tired of the lines and the master cylinder and nasty fluid all over everything and spending so much time only to have it fail later. I'd like something mechanical where theres some amount of certainty as to whether it will work. I cant be confident in my disk brake any more.
