I'm not a fan of knock-back especially on a bike, when you're timing braking points to split seconds, double-tapping to get pedal doesn't make for smooth corner transitions.

Having most of my aggressive racing or track experience on motorcycles on asphalt and dirt, weight transfer seriously reduces the amount of rear brake effectiveness. In my observations most people have a lot more rear breaking force than they need or use, though mid or rear engine cars change that opinion. So I could be out thinking myself a little on rear brake systems, but more due to knock-back issues than braking force.
I'm running a 12 bolt also but not the c-clip eliminators. Heard they tend to leak after awhile. I ordered Baer 6P's and then sold them because they were to heavy. IMO with decent brakes its all about brake pads. Cant give up my brake pad source due to the healthy competition but I gaurantee no one would ever guess who's pads. Awesome stopping power with great modulation and an even, predictable bite. cant relate to the knockback issues either.
