Where did my front brakes go???? Smdh

Man am I glad that proper maintenance pays off. My 06 has the original MC and calipers (never rebuilt) but since new I’ve had Galfer braided SS lines and HH pads and have had the system flushed and fluid exchanged more than once. @ 65,000+ miles I got new Arashi rotors (thanks @c10) and my brakes work perfectly. Good luck with yours!

LOL, I just didn't want old pads with fresh new rotors. Only the rear actually needed replacing because there were small grooves on the inside of the old rotor.
The cracking rubber boot on the clutch m.c. started squeaking last week :/ Only reason a rebuild started being considered.

Good point. I overlooked the rotor change. I just deglaze mine and resinter them if they still have life in them. The HH's can haul that big girl down pretty good. The wave rotors a big improvement? I'll admit the Busa braking system isn't the most confidence inspiring from the factory.

I'm not sure if it's the rotors, new pads, or both combined but there is definitely a noticeable difference now. I wasn't worried about locking up the front wheel before...I snatched the levers hard a couple times and didn't worry about locking up the front wheel, but now I think that's quite possible.
