Mine are pretty much worthless too. My 11 is non-ABS; my Blackbird has linked brakes so just using the rear alone will also exert some pressure on the front pads.
My 83 1100F had a rear disc and it worked just like its supposed too.
The rear brake on my new CB is just for show I guess.
Hopefully a new set of pads will give it at least something noticeable.
If Honda intended for the rear brakes to be this ineffective why did they put a brake pedal on the bike?
