On a single front rotor unless it's significantly a larger diameter than the rear and more pistons in the caliper than the rear, I have to disagree with you, still you would want to apply more front than rear but still together, dual disc setup on the front like my SERK, would be the berries for more front stopping power and over all stopping power, the rear and fronts should always be applied together there's a percentage, but to me it's a feel thing, a really good bleed, clean flushed fluid about once a year, smooth rotors with some good pads, will improve your braking as well as using braided lines. Full floaters in the rear is fine as well in the front.

 

The FXR4 Had Floating Rotors, 4 Piston Caliper's Front and Rear, Dual Fronts in 2000 Standard Feature ..

 

There you go, or should I say there you stop!! lol

 

Exactly John ...

 

Yeah, I went with the Lyndall Racing Brakes Z-Plus on my rear recently before touring Arkansas for a week and was super impressed with the improvement in performance. Didn’t realize that just the pads could make so much difference in stopping power. I wish I had sprung for the Lyndall’s for the front now that I see how well the rear’s work actually – I bought the EBC Double-H Sintered Metal Pads for my front. They’re better than stock, but I still wonder what the Lyndall’s would feel like.

Progressive is a good description – I was a little afraid at first they would make the rear lock up too easily; they had so much more grip, but I only locked the rear up once on my trip and that was in a near panic stop when I needed all I could squeeze out of them. Just a little skid lol – not out of control mind you.

They gave me a new respect for my rear brakes on my bike – before they almost felt like they couldn’t really handle all the weight on them or something? Now they seem to really be playing a more assertive role.

 

I'd upgrade the front long before the rear.
