I didn't really see anything in the reviews for them, and didn't really know where to post this so here goes...

I am up for new brakes on my 03 R6. What kinds/brands are good? I don't do any stunting, but I do occasionally get some really good speeds out of it, nothing often enough that I would need racer (hit the brakes do a stoppie) brakes.

I am about to put on a set of Pilot Power (tires), and figure I should get the brakes done too while I'm in there.

I consider myself an experienced rider, but by no means an insane one.

Can anyone recommend a good brand/model, for my type of riding?


Thanks in advance!

By what you've said, the standards should be more than adequate.

If anything, you may want to consider changing the brake pads - Go for EBC or whatever your local dealer can recommend....

Oops, I meant to put brake pads.
When I inquired with a few friends out here, they referred me to www.braketech.com but that seemed a bit much, says they are awesome for stunting. Thanks for the information! If anyone else has any input I’m all ears.

Rocket Brakes seems like a funny name, I mean rocket boosters essentially are a controlled, but unstoppable thing. I am not sure I want controlled but unstoppable brakes.

Rockets don't have brakes, so rocket brakes would be another way to say 'really, really bad brakes'?

To increase our braking power, Dave put sintered brake pads and put braided hoses on his FZX 750. This increased the bikes braking power quite a lot, we had to do this because of derestriction and the increase of bph.

I have also done this on some of my Harley's, make a difference alright.
