Today I rode motorcycle. The Honda CN250RS after fitting new brake
pads to go with the new disk. Only 20 miles, but my was it good to be
back on a bike. The 'stick in the wheel' effect caused by the pothole incident has been cured, but the brake is still a bit wooden and
lacking in power compared with Morini. I wish I could find more
cranked or adjustable lever to make it bite later, so more grip.
Then I watched the last rays of the sun on our 'sunset bench' which
now sits on a small gravel/'porcelain' slabs terrace. The clouds were
tinged with salmon pink and a blackbird sang in the gloaming. Crescent
moon overhead. A hypericum and penstemon moved to make the terrace
replanted in the front garden. A GOOD day.

I blame this IPad thing. Seems very slow at sending posts.

A wee sugestion maybe?
I have found that on "some" of my older bikes, fitting a slightly smaller master
cylinder has given me much better feel with the wooden brakes?
Not sure if it's even possible with your beast, but I've managed to find a way
for most.
A smaller master gives slightly less pressure withe the pull, but the squeeze then gives a much better feedback.
