If you haven't induced front lock up, you really don't know if your proportioning valve is adjusted correctly. Before you do anything, take it back out and stomp on the brakes going 60. The fronts should lock up even cold. Just don't flat spot your tires. You need to figure out your threshold braking anyway.

Well during a window of dry weather today Rich was able to go out and hammer the brakes and they did lock up. (Guess I was being a sally.

) No lock up from the rear but the fronts did. So if that's the case with the prop valve set at max, we could have a larger than optimal MC bore size. Of course, as you said, the pads could be a factor as well. Will check that out tmrw.

Oh, I did find out I have a 16 gallon fuel cell when all along I thought (and was told) it was a 12 gallon. That's good news for the road trip!

So it all seems to be all workin' out for you now...

What's up with that?
