how often do you use max performance?

The SV brakes are more than capable for the type of bike it is and the riders it is aimed at. As Chris and Pete have said, sort the forks out! There is no point in trying to improve the brakes without looking at the forks first, its the SV's weakiest link!

Im very interested in any articles on front brake confidence and limits, anyone know where this article or similar can be found?

Falco discs are renowned for warping. I put Braking Waves on mine.

Sorry for digressing!

Indeed. Ive fitted the EBC disc's and pads and was going to go out. Tightened up the last calliper and WAM Super Heavy Rain fell so I didnt want to risk new brakes + wet... Sigh.

How did the Braking disc's compair to the stock ones for you? Hoping the EBC ones will be fine for me.

N' you still got the Falco?
