Rear brake.....

Hi guys. I've completed my ZX636 swingarm, wheel, and 180 tire swap on my Copbike1000. I am thrilled with the results. The only concern that I have is the ZX636 rear brake caliper. It is tiny to say the least and therefore the braking force is minimal. Is it me...or is the ZX636 rear caliper not enough to bring a KZ1000 to a stop? I've tested the rear brake at an average speed and at this point, it is useless. This is working my dual front brakes overtime, not happy about that! I did install new brake pads and bled the rear brake system, any ideas?? Would the new rear brake pads need to be broken in? Also, I bought cheap pads on Ebay, could that be the issue? I might just go out and get high end pads.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Part of it could be the M/C bore size of the Kz master vs the Zx master.

Here are a few pics of my completed swing arm ,wheel and new 180 tire on my Copbike 1000

Looking good. If you don't like the way those shocks ride, Chris Livengood rebuilds them. swaps out a couple of internals puts quality oil in and fills them with nitrogen.

So far so good on shocks but will consider rebuilding em if they act up!
