I totally agree with 91cb-1. If you want more stopping power, upgrade to steel braided lines and better pads. The braided lines are a HUGE improvement over the stock rubber hoses. The lines and pads should be much cheaper than switching to a dual set-up. And like 91cb-1 also said, cleaning your caliper will also provide better peformance. Like I stated before, dual disks are adding weight to a bike that doesnt make much power to begin with. Your bike will have more weight to push around with the same power. That means the bikes performance will suffer a bit.
I am not a noob
and since 2000, I have raced my CB-1 for 6 yrs and have attended many track days in the last 5 years. I have quite a bit more power than a stock US market CB-1, and I have yet felt the need to go with a dual disk set-up. For street riding, a dual disk set-up would be overkill, and IMHO a waste of money. It really isnt neccessary.
The V45 and the CB-1 is an apples to oranges comparison, not apples to apples. There is at least a 120lbs difference in weight between these two bikes. The V45 NEEDS duals. the CB-1 doesnt.
Could you please explain the 'controllable skid' you experienced while stopping on the V45?
