[QUOTE="Russell Kemp, post: 154569, member: 3369"] I fitted CBR 600 discs & calipers with braided brake lines on my shadow and the brakes were as good as my Suzuki V-Strom. I also had a CB550 disc on the rear. Look at my profile photo and you will see that my shadow was far from standard but was a riders bike. As for not looking right, I think that any mods that keep the bike on the road and used are better than a bike that looks original and parked in a museum. On a side not my Shadow that I sold after my big crash in 2010 has been restored to a standard looking bike and has been off the road since 2011, a sad end to a Vincent that used to do 20,000 miles a year.
