Really, come on, ABS is no silver bullet, people...
Ya it's nice, but necessary, not in my opinion.
Spend some money on advanced rider training and you'll find that the brakes on most any motorcycle produced in the past 10 years are phenomenal.
I have a 1979 BMW with triple disks, state of the art in 1979, and even those old-tech brakes are not too bad and get the job done just fine, thank you.
Leave more "escape space" when you ride and you will find the standard OEM brakes are much more than adequate.
And this "myth" that Stainless Steel lines improve braking is just that, a myth along side the other great myth that aftermarket exhaust increases horsepower, phooey.
You want to tweak your brakes? Try some alternative brake pad material and that "might" get you where YOU think you need to be in the way of braking power.
Again, I would spend my money on a street skills track day, Like Reg Pridmor's CLASS, and improve the most important braking factor... YOU.
