Best improvement I have gotten in the ability of my stock front brake?

Better fork springs.

I can brake hard enough, and with enough confidence in what the bike is going to do, to make the front tire howl without locking up, or going up into a stoppie. Empty parking lots are a GREAT place to practice hard stops, increasing the speed gradually.

I do plan on replacing the front brake line for SS, and do plan on the Speigler over the Galfer, because if I run clip-ons for trackdays, its easier to swap the controls back and forth.
