Front Brakes...

[NightRider_imp]

Very glad to have read this thread, as my other bike--klr650--has soft brakes, and others I've had, sportster, xs650s, a few others, none had dual up front and so the cb1100 has a really different feel for me...as in "holy bat-brakes, this thing has stopping power!"

With only a handful of rides, I think I'll go to a local parking lot where mc courses are held and do some slow speed manouvers and braking so that there are no surprises.

I'm with you. The first day I went to a local school parking lot and practiced slow turns and rear lockup stops so hopefully when it happens for real I'll know to ride it to a stop.

You are also right, this bike can stop quick and it can also slow quick right before a 90 degree mountain road curve and then turn sharp with the throttle up to raise her up off the shocks for that tight turn and then keep going without dropping as if we do 90 degree turns every day without breaking a sweat.

Awesome bike. Awesome brakes and handling. Everytime I look at a new cruiser I recall how difficult it must be for a cruiser to match the handling of this bike.
