A popular mod for guys who have sport bikes, but have custom wheels, is to go to wicked small front rotors, or delete one of them. I personally wouldn't, with the way I ride....

Delete one? By rotors you meant brake disc right?
Thats the first time i heard of such things... In any case of an emergency brake, its obvious that the stopping distance would increase..
Being pasted into the rear of a bus is just not my cup of tea... :)

Me either, I have something like 300mm rotors and it still doesn't stop fast enough for me. But I don't have radial mounted brakes, and mine are the cheapy Nissin's that come stock. Decent for the street but they chatter and take a lot of time to heat up. Would like something with more initial bite personally. We'll see how the year goes, I may upgrade to 320mm Brembos.

You don't want your brakes to heat up. You want them to stay cool. Heat is what kills brakes. Makes your shit warp and wear unevenly. You need pads with more bite.

Come to think about it, i think you make sense.. I've seen racers brakes caught fire during race and i dont think we would want it to happen to us.. But i doubt if the brakes are cold, it would work perfectly either...
