[QUOTE="RonBB, post: 334562, member: 17"] Exactly how I felt after riding my 05ABS FJR for over 20K. After a bike totaling get-off (unrelated to brakes) I ended up buying an 07 FJR after much questioning of if I really wanted the linked brakes. I was very concerned about being leaned over in a curve and needing to apply a bit of trail braking & being on a slick surface with the front sliding out from under me due to the front braking. Now I have 4,500 miles (not a lot) on the 07 & so far I haven't found my fears to be a factor. The 07 linked brakes seem to have a threshold amount of pressure required before much, if any brakes are applied to the front. I can't honestly say that I have yet found myself in the situation I was concerned about but now I do worry about it much less-The 07 version of the linked brakes is fairly transparent in normal riding. Sorry about the minor diversion from your topic but thought perhaps this would be helpful to the thought behind your thread topic. Best of luck. Ron [/QUOTE]
