Eric, good brakes take three steps
1. get new brake linings as the old ones get hard and won't stop You can have them
radiused,kind of a custom fit at most any brake shop
2. wirewheel the glaze off the drum'
3 Adjust the linkages correctly sas someone has described on the list. I can't
remmember well enough the steps.
4. Forget you ever rode a bike with front discs. there aren't bad, theyre just not
discs. Tom

Interesting. I tried a little experiment after reading your post. I took the instruments that came off the bike, and gave them a sharp twist. The spedo needle moved signifigantly less than the tach needle, which bounced a great deal. What are you doing to make it stop? The brakes seem to work OK, but the amount of stretch in the front brake cable is truly amazing and not very confidence inspiring.
