The somewhat excessive lever travel was the issue for me. H ad maxed out the lever adjuster so I fixed it by welding a small nub where the adjuster contacts the part that presses on the MC piston. This moved the lever out to where I had more adjustment. I also put a little part from SV racing parts that moves the whole master cylinder away from the bar about 5mm:

No problem with braking power now. I do have an EBC floating rotor for weight savings and durability but just fixing the lever travel was the real key
