[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 86035, member: 597"] I have the "Vintage brake" linings in my front brakes using replica Lightning plates and the front brakes work very well. The rear has asbestos linings which have some mileage on them now and don't work as good as they use to. The comments about the brakes not working so well after some use seems to be true, as I have found on several bikes now, the linings and drums look perfect but they don't seem to pull up as good as when they were first set up. Even two up my brakes pull the bike up very well really, although the last time I took it around Lakeside race track after the first "Hard stop" into the "Bus stop" which is very hard on brakes and back to first gear out........The brakes were useless......... It really made me wonder how the old school racers from years ago use to pull up on these bikes. [/QUOTE]
