Bigger, Better Brakes - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

So I want to change out my bike stock brakes for bigger, better brakes. But I have absolutely no idea where to start. Ive got a 2000 Honda Shadow ACE 750. I realize that since my back brake is a drum brake there isnt really anything I can do with that short of getting a whole new rim and converting to disc brakes, but I want to try and get more stopping power out of the front brake. Any suggestions?

EBC pads and disk. Change the stock hose to a stainless braided hose. Change rear shoes for EBC too

you can also put a four piston front brake caliper if you have a two piston stock caliper

If you change the caliper you'll need more brake fluid to operate it so make sure your resevoir is up to the task. Something often over looked.
