I'm the new owner of a 1993 R100GS PD. The front brake is a little underwhelming.
I've done a little research, and I've encountered a spectrum of suggestions including Kevlar pads, four-piston calipers, larger disc, better brake line, and a different master cylinder. But I haven't really gotten into the details yet.
I'm sort of a minimalist, do-no-harm kinda guy, so I was just going to try Kevlar brake pads at the next change. And just ride knowing that I don't have fancy brakes.
Thoughts?
