If you want to experience MARGINAL brakes...ride a 1958 Harley-Davidson XLCH Sportster!!!!

Fred Flintstone could stop better.

Original brakes are not marginally sufficient as someone put it, original maintained and adjusted bone stock brakes will put you into the windshield-- if yours won't go get them fixed.

If you wanna do something different, you have been informed.� If you have to change something, change your oil...

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] Supplemental brake systems, kenH

It seems to me that several important liability questions are being ignored here:

1) What if some component of your modified brake system fails and causes or contributes to an accident?

2) What if improper installation or adjustment of your modified brake system causes or contributes to an accident?

3) What if your modified brake system functions perfectly, but it still isn't good enough to save you from some idiot that comes out of nowhere, swerves in front of you, and hammers the brakes? Will you have to prove that the stock brakes wouldn't have saved you from the accident?

Personally I am always in favor of improved brakes, but I don't think these questions can be just dismissed.
