It doesn't overheat when ridden hard. I'm not sure how a stronger brake could improve on that.
It does have the finned Shadow drums, they might help a bit.
My stock brake will lock the front wheel at speed, if the lever is gripped hard.Until the beginning of this century, I kept updating my original front brake whenever something was invented, thicker cables, longer levers, reinforcement of the brake plate and also the Bert Weisz modification (see photos). It usually helped somewhat, and for people living in America on the wide empty prairy it's all fine, but in the hugely hectic traffic in my home area (Rotterdam) a standard Vincent brake is life-threatening! The VSM (Speet) brake was already a huge improvement and the German brake will certainly be too. Even better are disc brakes but that is a bridge too far for me.
